Full Moon Hikes

Have you ever wondered what the dunes look like under the glow of the moon? Join a ranger for a full moon hike and see firsthand the dunes in a whole new light.

Our full moon hikes are free of charge, but reservations are required. Reservations will only be accepted during the registration period (two weeks prior to the scheduled hike), and remember, please make your reservations early because only 40 participants are allowed per trip. The hike fills up very fast, often within a few hours after the form is posted. Trip details will be given out to registered participants. Under normal circumstances and barring any unforeseen occurrences, the form will be available by 8:00 am on the morning that registration opens.    

BOY SCOUTS AND OTHER LARGE GROUPS - Because spaces are limited, we cannot allow large groups to register for the public full moon hike, even if you send in multiple forms of 5 participants each.  If you have a large group such as a Boy Scout or Girl Scout troop and would like to go on the full moon hike, please contact us at [phone] ext. 232 so that we can see what arrangements we can make for you. 

See below for detailed directions on how to submit the form.
