Grab a flashlight, a sweater, and join us to explore Coldwater Canyon Park and neighboring Wilacre Park under the stars. Every fourth Friday we host an evening of music along a ridge trail overlooking the valley, while TreePeople’s wonderful Eco-Educators lead three different hikes, so all ages and experience levels are welcome. This month we’ll be joined by our friend Tristan de Liège.
Check-in starts at 6:30pm, music shortly after 7pm, the hike starts at 8 pm, and we’ll have hot tea available for the first hour! Early registration is required, and this evening is subject to change due to weather. See you on the mountain!
