Immerse yourself in the abundance of spring under the Full Flower Moon. As its name suggests, this moon shines down on a world erupting in blossoms, when meadows are lush and life is in full flourish. We’ll take a celebratory hike up Cowles Mountain, passing through fragrant brush and enjoying the longer, gentle evening. From the summit, we’ll watch this fertile, beautiful moon rise over the landscape, a fitting tribute to the peak of spring’s glory. Bring a friend, water, and a headlamp to enjoy this floral-themed night adventure.
