This program covers less than 0.3 miles and is largely stationary, so bringing a lawn chair is recommended. Bring your own binoculars or borrow a loaner pair from us. Dress for the forecasted weather. Bug spray is recommended. This program ends about 30 minutes after sunset; bring a flashlight if you'd like extra illumination on the way back to the parking area as it begins to get dark.
Your guide will email you about 24 hours in advance of your program with any updates about your program, such as trail conditions.
