Once a month, as the full moon dictates, it seems safe to venture out into the dark while the moon makes shadows.  Experience your National Forest from a different perspective – under the light of the full moon.  Please join our interpreters and naturalists for evenings of exploration in the moonlight.  Interpreters range from foresters to biologists, from scientists to historians, from poets to storytellers.

Friday, August 31st – Blue Migration Moon at Red Lodge Mountain Overlook, 7:00 p.m

Many of the walks are a night or two before the full moon, to take advantage of the earlier moonrise.  The walks will often be located along a trail, with one or more interpreters located along the route of ½ to 2 miles on easy terrain.

Participants may want to bring flashlights in case the moon does not cooperate.  Anticipate the weather and dress accordingly.
