Description
Super Wolf Moon & Quadrantid Meteors
Step into the magic of the night and join us for our first Full Moon Night Hike of 2026 under the Super Wolf Moon. This month’s full moon will shine brighter and closer than usual, lighting our path as the Quadrantid Meteor Shower reaches its peak. A truly spectacular way to start the hiking year!
This hike also launches our new Full Moon Night Hike Badge Series. Complete 3 Full Moon Night Hikes led by an Iroquoia Club Leader in 2026 to qualify and purchase the new badge. With 13 full moons in 2026, there will be plenty of chances to earn your badge and enjoy the trail by moonlight.
