Starlight Saturdays: Family Night Hikes

Leo Martinez leads a family night hike at WildRoots. Families with red headlamps look up as he points to the moon and stars in a tall evergreen forest. A child uses a telescope while a distant trail of hikers glows in the dark.

Join us on our night hikes for beautiful star gazing and family adventure (weather permitting)
