It is time to go outside! Every journey begins with just one step, and that first step can take you on a fun-filled adventure simply by going outside for a walk, just like the one you and your Wolf den are about to take.
Where you take your walk is up to your den. It may be a walk around the center of your city or town, it may be at a local park with a trail, or it may be a trail in a forest. No matter where you take your walk you will see signs of nature in different forms.
