Ranger-led Night Hike:  Discover Glow-worms and other Creatures of the Night

Many creatures of the night call the Obed home.  Some are bioluminescent such as glow-worms and lightning bugs, while others fluoresce to a glowing blue color under a black light.

Join our ranger on June 10th at 9:00 p.m. ET for an easy/moderate 1-mile night hike on the Overlook Trail and Boulder Trails to discover these creatures of the night.

Please bring a red-light headlamp or red-light flashlight.  And bring a black-light if you have one.  A limited number of black lights will be on-hand.

Fees

This event is free to attend.
