Recommended Audience: This program is designed for adults and children 12+. Children must be accompanied by an adult.  

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 nighttime 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 nighttime, 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:   

• Join an easy hike group (level surface) or a more moderate hike group (may walk faster as well as travel up some hills).   
• Join an adult-only group.  

For more information, please see our how to prepare for a night hike.
