Instructions
Meet inside the red barn at Pleasant Valley. Doors will open 15 minutes before the program's start time to begin welcoming any early arrivals.
Children must be accompanied by an adult. Dress for the weather with long pants, long sleeves, and boots. If you want extra illumination in the dark, bring a flashlight -- ideally one with a red light or covered in a red cloth to avoid removing the group's natural night vision, if possible.
This program will cover roughly 0.8 miles of wide, flat, gravel-paved trail, with some limited movement off-trail. Off-trail sections may be uneven or slippery, and may have obstacles such as exposed tree roots or rocks.
Pre-registration is required.
