Ever wonder how much a full moon lights up the night sky? When the city lights fall away in the distance, and you are standing in an open field on top of a mountain, the full moon shines bright for all to see. Join a ranger on a short moderate hike to the Appalachian Balds to experience the Supermoon, which also happens to be a Blue Moon. No flashlights needed; please wear closed-toe shoes.
