JEFFERSON CITY– Join Washington State Park team members for an evening of trekking and tasting from 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday, April 30th.

This event begins with a guided twilight hike and ends at one of the park's shelters for complimentary tastings from participating vendors, including Edg-Clif Winery of Potosi. A variety of vendors will have products and concessions available for purchase.

This event will include two hike options.
