Night Hike
A Walk in the Dark
The familiar old trail that you've hiked dozens of times is suddenly
new; it's like exploring all over again, and even a short hike can be
thrilling at night. Depth perception becomes a guessing game and a whole new set of animals come out to play.
Who can go?
The more the merrier! Nothing like having a few friends along to
bolster your courage as you take a leap into the dark. The
key is to stick together and come back with the same amount of people
you left with.
What an inexpensive way to incorporate a fun activity into the evening and get a little exercise to boot.
Tips
You don't necessarily need a headlamp, but should carry a good light source along.
What good Scout doesn't have a flashlight? A map and compass is
always a plus and don't forget your comfortable hiking boots.
Rain or shine, any nightfall will be a great backdrop for your hike.
