About This Event
All hikes are schedule to begin after sunset. Please note the start time of your hike.
Ages 12+ only. Minors (ages 12-17) must be accompanied by an adult.
Gate opens 30 minutes before program start. Program begins promptly at noted time. No late entires. No exceptions.
Pack dinner and arrive early to picnic on the grounds. We are a pack-in/pack-out facility - please plan to take your trash with you.
Come along on a nightime adventure! We'll explore the woods at night by lantern light, listen for the sounds of nocturnal animals including owls, crickets, coyotes and frogs, and share stories about the history of Owl's Hill.
This program is for adventurers who are looking for a longer hike than our typical evening programs. The route is 1.5 miles of moderately challenging natural surface trail. Participants can expect moderate uphill and downhill hiking as well as areas of uneven terrain. Once the hike departs, participants are expected to stay with the group for the duration of the hike.
Closed-toe shoes suitable for hiking are strongly recommended.
For the safety and comfort of all participants, participants are not permitted to carry additional sources of light (headlamps, flashlights, etc). Lanterns will be provided.
Note: To protect the wildlife, we do not permit pets on the Sanctuary grounds.
- REFUND POLICY: There are no refunds on programs. If you cannot attend, however, you may transfer your ticket to a friend or colleague by notifying us in advance of the program.
- CANCELLATION: Programs are rain or shine. We will, however, cancel a program if Williamson County is under a severe weather warning issued by the National Weather Service. Registrants will be notified by email. If a program is cancelled, you will receive a credit (valid for 30 days) toward Day Pass admissions.
FOR EVERYONE's SAFETY:
- Please stay home if you are not feeling well or have recently been exposed to someone with a respiratory illness.
- Our outdoor portable toilets each have hand sanitizers inside.
- Please bring a refillable water bottle. We do not have a communal water fountain.
- Insect repellant is recommended.
