Join your REI Co-op on Mount Hood for this one-of-kind celebration of Winter's longest night. We'll create a winter walk along a forest trail lit by luminaries. After a 2-mile tromp, join fellow revelers to enjoy a campfire as you celebrate the Winter Solstice in this special and unique setting. If the trail is blanketed in snow, REI will provide snowshoes and expert tips for all levels of experience.
