Why You Should Go: This is a unique opportunity to experience one of summer’s most beautiful full moons with neighbors, friends, and family. With the light of the full moon illuminating our steps, we will experience the magic and peace of nature after dark. Plus, there will be a deep partial lunar eclipse that will start at 9:23pm, peaking around midnight. With over 96% of the moon passing into the Earth’s shadow, the Sturgeon Moon will slowly exchange its bright white glow for a red-orange hue. You don’t want to miss this moon-lit walk!

Things To Know Before You Go: Feel free to bring a headlamp or flashlight, red light preferred. Redding Land Trust will provide a limited number of flashlights. Long sleeves, bug spray, and closed toe shoes recommended. We also recommend you review these hiking tips.

Optional:  The lunar eclipse will happen starting at 9:23pm into midnight; hikers can join after the scheduled Moon Walk.
