Annual Winter Solstice Night Hike

December 20, 2024 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

Hitchcock Nature Center’s Annual Winter Solstice Night Hike is open to all ages 5+ (due to terrain). The hike along Fox Run Ridge celebrates the longest night and the return of the Sun. At the cliff’s edge, there will be a small celebratory ceremony to welcome in the new year.

The event is free with a $5/vehicle entry fee or park membership; pre-registration is required.  The event will be held “snow” or shine. In the event of dangerous/inclement weather, they will provide a programming update via the email you used to register.

Note: Regular flashlights are extremely disruptive to yours and other visitor’s night vision as well as to wildlife. Please consider using a red light, which is a great option for night time activities, or using your natural night vision to navigate through the park.
