The hike will start and end at the park Visitor Center. Don't miss the return of this wonderful annual tradition. Before & after the hike, stay for warm fire pits and a fantastic holiday-themed hot chocolate bar!! Hot coffee will also be served.
The hike will kick off at 6 pm with the park Visitor Center opening one hour prior for visitors to purchase daily entrance passes, 2026 annual passes, park merchandise, and for general viewing of museum exhibits.
This year, hikers will get the chance to test their trivia knowledge while hiking up to the blockhouses! What's the trivia you ask? All things Christmas of course! Trivia stations will be placed along the hike up to/down from the infantry post blockhouses. Do you know all the names of Santa's reindeer? Or the 12 gifts of the "Twelve Days of Christmas" song?
