Take a walk over fields and through the woods on a starry (fingers crossed), moonless night...the longest night of the year.

Knowledgeable guides will discuss the night sky, nocturnal wildlife, Government Canyon history, and more. The hike is approximately a one-mile round trip over fairly level terrain.

This hike is open to all ages. Minors must be accompanied by their parent or legal guardian. No pets please.

Where to Meet:

Meet at the Rock Garden beside the Visitor Center. Please be in place and ready to go no later than 5:45 pm. The hike is limited to the first 30 people to check in with the hike leaders. Be ready to hike the Discovery Trail on your own if the hike fills to capacity before you arrive.
