Event Calendar
Old-fashioned kerosene lanterns illuminate the trail during this night ski, which is scheduled to start at from 6:30pm and last until 9 p.m.
Lanterns are placed along the entire one-mile loop for a unique and memorable skiing experience. Stop about halfway around the loop at the warming shelter where the park naturalist will have a campfire going. This trail has an “easy” difficulty rating; however, skiing at night is always a challenge.
“This place is incredible in the winter,” said Park Interpreter Bob Wild. “What better way to see the park and experience winter, than by participating in one of these naturalist-lead programs.”
Lantern Light Cross-Country Skiing: Remaining outings are 20 and 27 from 6:30-9 p.m.
