Along the way, we’ll explore the hidden world of nocturnal wildlife from owls calling through the forest to salamanders thriving in the cool night air, and perhaps even the flicker of the year’s last fireflies. A blacklight demonstration may reveal fluorescent surprises hidden in the forest.

At the battle site, we’ll settle in beneath the stars for spectacular dark sky viewing. Rangers will highlight constellations, share dark sky stories, and discuss ways you can help protect the night sky here at Rocky Fork and in your own community. Guests will be provided with red light flashlights to preserve night vision.

What to Bring: Closed toed shoes, water, and a small backpack. Red light flashlights will be provided, but guests are welcome to bring their own.
