Join Ranger Olivia for a hike to see the iconic desert sunset closely followed by the rise of the full moon. For registration and more details, click program title.

Ranger Olivia leads this picturesque hike to watch the sun set and moonrise while also talking about anything plants or animals that are of interest along the way. We will see the sunset, a beautiful mountain view, the full moon rise, and maybe some evening critters as well. You may bring your blacklight and regular flashlight to look for evening critters(optional). This hike will start on the Noso trail where we will connect onto Blevins trail for a 2 mile out and back hike. The terrain is rated easy to moderate and ranges from even and smooth with small to medium rocks underfoot and slight elevation gain. Wear closed-toe shoes and bring plenty of water. Restrooms and water are available at the Trailhead.
