Example of a permissible shoe for full moon hikes. BE WEARING or HAVE WITH YOU your proof of lug traction footwear when getting your ticket(s). RULES:
NOTE: Tickets are required for full-moon hikes and are FREE, but ONLY distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis. Sign-up begins at 8:00 a.m. at the visitor center (line starts forming at 7:00 a.m.) on the morning of the scheduled hike. HIKES USUALLY FILL UP WITHIN THE FIRST HOUR OF SIGN UP! ABSOLUTELY NO ADVANCE RESERVATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED! For groups of people, tickets will only be given out if the entire group arrives in person so that each group member receives their own ticket. EXCEPTION: One parent may sign up his or her spouse and their non-emancipated children (kids who get to sleep in are more enjoyable during the hike than those that have to get up early to stand in line). :-) Watch this Video to Learn More about Bryce Canyon Full Moon Hikes. Starting locations and routes are not announced in advance, but are made known to ticket holders.
