Dusk is a magical time at the park. Join us at the main parking lot at 7:00 p.m. for an easy-paced hike where we'll be treated to the sights and sounds of nature at sunset. The Interpretive Center, aka the Barn, will be open from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm with family-friendly activities. At 8:30p.m. we'll gather behind the Interpretive Center for Northern Virginia Astronomy Club (NOVAC) members to orient us with a brief sky tour and look at deep space objects through their telescopes. Red cellophane and rubber bands will be provided to cover flashlights. Bring a blanket or chair and enjoy the magic of the park after dark.
