Night Hikes

Astronomical Tour

Join us for an adventure of a nighttime and experience the Park at night! 

Look and learn about local wildlife, meditate or hear ghost stories - every hike you will learn something different! For many hikes you will get to use red light flashlights while searching for wildlife to protect nocturnal species from light pollution and cause less disruption of their natural behaviors. 

Go hike on an Astronomical Tour with the Peoria Astronomical Society.
