Event Details

Join Seasonal Ranger Molly for a scenic golden hour hike down our Ridgecrest Trail. We will make our way down to the lakeshore to experience the park during one of its most beautiful times of day, as the sun sets over Cherokee Lake. This moderate hike is around 1.3 miles. Participants should be aware that the return trip is entirely uphill and will take place after sunset. Please bring a flashlight or headlamp, plenty of water, insect repellant, and wear appropriate hiking footwear. The cost of this program is $5 per participant.
