About this Event
The Science Week Night Hike is back! Join the team from Northwest Adventure Tours for a fun and fact-filled starlight night hike on Friday at 8pm. Trek under the dark skies of Slishwood Forest trail, as the guides bring the sky to life with stories of old celestial traditions in Sligo, and help guide your eyes through the cosmos of stars, planets and distant galaxies. Discover how the Star Wars origin story is based off events in Sligo and relax under the stars while enjoying a warm drink brewed by the guides and hear from a professional night sky photographer who will be on hand to provide some advice for capturing the night sky in all its glory. Be sure to bring your cameras along and pick up some new tips along the way. Northwest Adventure Tours torches will light the way through this ancient landscape that is steeped in history and astronomical connections. The hike will coincide with the Leonids Meteor Shower, the last great shooting star show of the year, heads up and you might be lucky enough to spot a few!
