It’s time to hit the trail to spot Peter Cotton Tail, and maybe win one of  a bunch of really, great prizes for your bunny finding skills!

I’ve been telling you about this awesome, safe event for a while because your kids are going to love it! If you missed those posts, don’t worry. All the info. is below, and it’s as easy as printing out your scorecard and putting on your shoes!

This is a real, DIY style event (not virtual!) You and all your favorite peeps get to hunt for bunnies at Auburn area parks and trails (We’ve got the list of parks below). The photo above shows what you’re looking for.

Before you start your search, you’ll need to print a ‘Bunny Scorecard’ (one scorecard for each participant, please)

.Each bunny will have a unique number. When you find a bunny, write the corresponding number on your scorecard.

Please don’t take or move the bunnies from their hiding spot. The hunt needs to be fun for every bunny! 

When you finish your scorecard, email it to events@auburnwa.gov by noon on March 31 to be entered into the random drawing for prizes. Winners will be selected at random and announced on April 1.

Big news! If you’ve been looking for a place to take the kids sledding or to see or play in the snow, you’ll be glad to know that the Snowplay area at Mt. Rainier is finally open! 

This area is the only location to sled at Mt. Rainier.

Read on for all the information for 2021 Sledding/Snowplay at Paradise at Mt. Rainier. You can also use the links to find out information on snowshoeing.

For more sledding and snow fun options, check the list I’ve linked to at the bottom of this post!

Note that this information is straight from the park.

Sledding/Snowplay Status: OPEN
The official Snowplay Area is the safest and only location that sledding is permitted in Mount Rainier National Park.

Know Before You Go:  Sledding and sliding are permitted only in the designated snow play area at Paradise, located immediately north of the upper parking lot. Trees, tree wells, and cliffs make other areas dangerous. For everyone’s safety, use “soft” sliding devices-flexible sleds, inner tubes, and saucers. No hard toboggans or runner sleds (SFM note-you bring your own). Note: Check the status of road and avalanche conditions before leaving home. Remember all vehicles are required to carry tire chains when traveling in the park in winter.

You can read the complete press release for more information on the SnowPlay area at Mt. Rainier here.
