Full Moon Hike at Lost Dutchman State Park
January 30 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm
This beautiful program is designed to start with a famous Arizona sunset draping gracefully over the Superstition Mountains, and end under the light of the full moon.
The 1.5-mile trail features some rocky, rough terrain but with little elevation gain. It is a ranger-guided hike focusing on the aesthetic, while offering opportunities to stop and interpret what you see on the trail. To reduce impact, ensure safety, and provide a more intimate, personalized experience, there will be a guest limit. Register online up two days before the event for $10 per person (ages 10 and up welcome). Each event is limited to 40 total registrants. No pets please.
Bring good shoes, water, and a small flashlight. The event is weather permitting. In the case of cancellation, you will be notified via email, and your fees will be refunded within a few days. Please allow a week or so for the refund to appear on your bank notes. Meet in the Palo Verde Day Use area. Hikes take place on weekends closest to the full moon and are about 1.25 hours in total.
