Earth Hour: Night Hike

When

March 29, 2025. 6:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.

Everyday, billions of light sources illuminate our planets surface. For one hour each year, we choose to turn off the lights to help give the planet a chance to reset and recharge. In solidarity with this global event, we will turn the lights off in the Trail Center. In conjuncture with this annual event, join the Rangers on a night hike to learn about the park inhabitants that rely on the night sky for their survival. There are so many animals that come out at night, we may even come across some of them! The hike will cover about 0.5 miles of trail over the span of 1 hour. Dress warm and wear appropriate walking shoes.
