Night Hike: Wolf Moon

Saturday, January 30 @ 6:00 - 7:30 pm
Moon, night sky, harvest moon, full moon

Why is it called a “Wolf Moon?”

Some Native American tribes used this designation because this was the time of year when it was more common to hear hungry wolf packs howling.

The night sky and the cosmos have been a source of inspiration and amazement throughout human history. Join us for an evening at Pleasant Hill and explore the starry sky! On this gentle hike through the Preserve, take in the wonders of the prairie and forest at night while discovering some of the mysteries and curiosities of the universe. Along the way, we will observe constellations and learn fun facts about the moon and its importance in our lives!

Annual Passholder: $5
