Howl-O-Ween Night Hike

Hitchcock Nature Center

Get into the spirit of Halloween by joining Pottawattamie Conservation for a dark and mysterious guided night hike on the hilly trails at Hitchcock Nature Center. This hike will begin under the glow of the setting sun, but quickly turn into an exceptionally dark adventure through the late-October forest and prairie. With no moonlight in sight due to this month's late-rising waning gibbous moon, explore the park after dark along 1.25 miles of moderately challenging terrain.

Oh deer! The only spooks and scares you'll experience on this hike are those provided courtesy of Mother Nature. Perhaps a pack of coyotes howling in the night, if we're lucky!

This program will take place entirely outside and involves walking on hilly, uneven terrain in low light.

For ages 10+ due to hike length. $5 per person.
