Full Moon Hike at Shifting Lots Preserve

Join Hike Leaders Skip and Betsy on a full moon hike at Shifting Lots Preserve! Both the sunset and moon rise will happen simultaneously (at 5:58 PM), a very unusual occurrence. On a clear night, both events will be spectacular! We will hike along the beach - be prepared to traverse over soft sand. Wear warm clothing, it can be breezy at these exposed areas. A headlamp and/or good flashlight are required.
