Discover the magic of hiking at night under a blanket of stars, when even the most familiar trails reveal sights and sounds they only share with the cool, quiet night. Experience the landscape bathed in moonlight and learn all about the surrounding ecosystem. This hike is perfect for all experience levels, and participants should feel comfortable walking on uneven terrain for about 3 hours. You bring the hiking boots, we'll bring headlamps and trekking poles.
