Night Hike: Fall Equinox

Saturday, September 23 | 7:30-9:00 p.m.
Moon, night sky, harvest moon, full moon

What is the significance of the fall equinox?

During the equinox, both halves of the Earth are receiving the sun's rays equally. In the Northern Hemisphere, the fall equinox officially brings summer to an end and kicks off autumn.

The night sky and the cosmos have been a source of inspiration and amazement throughout human history. On this gentle hike through the Preserve, take in the wonders of the prairie and forest at night while learning about some of the mysteries and curiosities of the universe. Along the way, we will listen to the enchanting sounds of the night, observe the night sky, and learn the importance of the fall equinox.

Cost:
Annual Passholder: $15
Non-Annual Passholder:
