Program Description: Witness the night's magic transform the trails as we marvel at the full moon and reveal natural history happenings on this guided hike. Full Moon Walks provide rare opportunities to hike Nature Center trails when we’re normally closed. These night time walks utilize level upland trails—we avoid hills, steps and stream crossings for safety.
While each full moon walk varies, we generally stop periodically for natural history moments, special readings or simply to admire the shadows cast by the full moon. As it’s night time, the pace is slower. Leaders adjust the walking speed based on their group.
What to expect: On a Full Moon Walk, you’ll take a 1-to-1.5-mile leisurely walk on a trail. Trails may be muddy during wetter times of the year, but we’ll do our best to keep you dry.
Based on registrations, you’ll have the option to choose a group according to your desired pace and peers:
Note: Please arrive promptly for walk's start time. Gatehouse only remains open for 15 minutes after program start time.
