Reservations are highly recommended. Tickets can be purchased in advance on Recreation.gov. Availability of walk-up tickets is not guaranteed.
As darkness settles, the enchanting Hillside Gardens reveal a different kind of magic. This guided, one‑hour walk moves gently along garden paths to the fernery, water features, and the secluded Bungalow, with short stops for mindful attention and stargazing. Listen for subtle nighttime sounds, feel the cool hillside air, and let the landscape restore your sense of peace and perspective. This program requires traveling approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) and has an elevation gain of 100 feet (10.5 m). Lanterns are provided.
Advanced reservations are highly recommended. Visit Recreation.gov to schedule a tour or program in advance.
