Event Details

See the park in a new perspective as we hike after dark! We'll discuss how different wildlife see our park, and why it helps them survive.


This hike is ~1.5 miles long and includes portions of the Mayo Wix Trail, Shoreline Trail, TN History Trail, and the High Ridge Trail. This trail does not include our infamously steep stairs.


Feel free to bring flashlights, water bottles, and similar hiking gear. We recommend bringing UV lights or red lights to help you see the park a little differently! Ranger Abby will have a small number of flashlights for participants to borrow.
