8: Fall Foliage Walks at the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge.  The interpretive programs take participants into Hollis Canyon for a one mile walk through black jack and post oaks, chinquapin and red cedar into a stand of sugar maples. As fall advances, plants react to the changes of temperature, humidity and day length by reducing food production. Leaves, no longer receiving chlorophyll, begin to change and colors of red, yellow, orange and brown begin to appear. Dependent upon weather conditions, participants will view natures changes and will enjoy an opportunity for fall nature identification. As with any outdoor experience, the observant eye catches subtle and unexpected surprises which excite the mind and make the outing more meaningful. Tour participants should wear sturdy shoes and dress appropriately for the season. A canteen of water may be a welcome treat. Each hike will last approximately two and one half hours.  For reservations call which are required and may be made by telephoning the Visitor Center at (580) 429-3222. A $5.00 reservation fee per participant is collected prior to the program.
