Description

Join us for hike three of a six part Full Moon Hike Series (October - March).

Our hike starts at the Cemetery Road side trail which will take us to the Ilse Hanel side trail. We will hike through a beautiful hardwood forest and if we have a clear night we have lots of moonlight shining in through the trees!

This 3 km hike (out and back) is generally on flat and even terrain.  We will find a spot to sit amongst the maples to soak in the moonlight and we plan to share some songs to sing together as a group. They will be uplifting and easy to learn; if you want to simply sit and listen that's welcome too!  We will then return to the parking lot the way we came in.

We will bring warming herbal tea.

Bring a chair or mat to sit on, a mug, sturdy footwear, a headlamp with a red setting if you have it and warm layers.

Sunset is 4:44pm

The moon rises at 4:42 pm from the NE.

Start time is 6:00pm
