Night Hike | Celebrating International Dark Sky Week

April 17 | 8:30 - 9:30 p.m.
Hitchcock Nature Center

Pre-registration is required. To ensure a high-quality participant experience, we are unable to accommodate walk-ins. Please click the icon above to register today. Ages 5+. $5 per person.

Join us for a moderate hike after dark to celebrate International Dark Sky Week. International Dark Sky Week is a global celebration of the night.

From the darkness needed for a restful night’s sleep to the activities we enjoy beneath the stars, the night is filled with wonder and importance. Dark nights sustain critical wildlife ecosystems, strengthen the well-being of our communities, enable scientific discovery, and preserve shared cultural knowledge and traditions.

We will try to let our night vision guide us without flashlights. If participants feel like they need some light for safety, we will have red-light flashlights available. No white-light flashlights, please.
