Ages 12+ only. Participants ages 12–17 must be accompanied by an adult.
Come along on a nighttime adventure as we explore the woods by lantern light. Listen for the sounds of nocturnal wildlife—including owls, coyotes, crickets, and frogs and hear stories about the natural and cultural history of Cuba and the Alleghany Highlands!
This program is designed for adventurers looking for a longer hike than our typical evening programs. The route is approximately 1 mile of moderately challenging natural-surface trail, with moderate uphill and downhill sections and areas of uneven terrain. Once the hike departs, participants must remain with the group for the duration of the hike for safety reasons (it gets quite dark up on the hill!).
Plan Ahead
Pack a dinner and arrive early to enjoy a picnic on the grounds before the program begins.
OARS is a pack-in/pack-out facility. Please plan to take all trash with you.
Closed-toe shoes suitable for hiking are strongly recommended.
Lanterns will be provided. For the safety and comfort of the group, additional light sources—including flashlights and headlamps—are not permitted.
Important Arrival Information
The gate opens 30 minutes before the program start time. The program will begin promptly at the advertised time. No late entry is permitted and there are no exceptions.
