Full Moon Hike- Canceled
This program has been canceled. Please consider joining us for future Full Moon Hikes!
Join us for a full moon hike (or snowshoe) at Hidden Valley Nature Center.
Enjoy an evening illuminated by the glow of the full Snow Moon. Discover a new way of being in the woods, when sounds become more pronounced and sight takes a backseat to our other senses. The group will take moments of silence to listen for owls and nocturnal foragers along the trail, chat as we hike and revel in the brightness of earth's closest celestial friend.
Meet at the Welcome Center at Hidden Valley; hikers should wear shoes with good grips and bring a hiking stick if desired, along with a snack, drink, and flashlight or headlamp. Your guide will lead the group on a moderate hike of 2-3 miles along some of the many trails at Hidden Valley. We will be out for 2 hours.
In the case of inclement weather which prevents us from running the hike on you will be notified by noon that the hike has been canceled.
All are welcome, youth under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
This is a free event; registration is required so we can stay in touch with participants and know how many to expect.
