Along the way, you’ll learn captivating facts about the nocturnal animals that call Cedar Run home and gain insight into their behaviors and adaptations for life in the dark.
But the adventure doesn’t end there! At select points along the hike, we’ll pause to gaze at the stars and planets through a telescope. Our educators will help you navigate the night sky, pointing out constellations, planets, and other celestial wonders that shine brightly against the backdrop of the new moon.
