Dark Sky Hike

Join Ranger Kevin for an exciting evening of dark sky desert hiking.

Let's go on a 2.1-mile hike on easy to moderate terrain under a moonless summer night sky. We’ll see the desert at its darkest, with only starlight overhead. This is a great opportunity to be out when nocturnal animals tend to be active, so we’ll be on the lookout for all sorts of desert wildlife!

Restrooms and a drinking fountain are available at the park entrance. Wear closed-toe shoes and bring plenty of water. Flashlight and blacklight recommended.

No pets, please.

Please bring $7 exact CASH for the self-pay station or your annual pass. 

MEETING LOCATION: Main Entrance Tailhead map kiosk/picnic table.
