Star Gazing Luminary Night Hike or Snowshoe

Event Summary

Kick off the new year of 2027 by joining the Hamilton County Naturalist as we hike the Boone River Bike Trail and follow luminaries to the barn and back. If there is lots of snow we may have the option of snowing onto the golf course to view the night sky. We will meet at the Conservation Office and hike the plowed bike trail to observe the full moon, constellations, planets, and satellites. Learn about some smart phone APPS that help you identify stars and planets is in the night sky. We may try our luck at calling some barred owls and see if we get a response on the night hike. Dress warm and feel free to bring a flashlight. We have a limited number of flashlights and red covers available for use. Register at www.mycountyyparks.com to make your reservation.
