How about a night hike to a hilltop vista with a full moon? There will be a micro-moon that night: the moon will be full and at its furthest from the Earth. The hilltop above Bossard’s Cabin on M08 has a spectacular 360-degree view with few or no structures in sight.

Part 1 of this hike is 2 miles with a climb of 350-400? to the hilltop – we’ll keep a comfortable pace. Part 2 will be on a hilltop with moonrise at 7:49 pm and sunset at 7:50 pm. It’s up to each hiker to decide which way to look while we sit and enjoy the experience for an hour or more. Part 3 is our night-hike return to our cars – we’ll take our time descending the trail and enjoying moon-lit woods.

Gear choices should include warm clothes, winter hat, rain coat, a small sit-pad, snack, and a proven headlamp. This Hiking 101 is open to new hikers or to experienced hikers interested in night-hiking. Return to cars is estimated to be 10 pm – late returns happen with night hikes.
