Among countless other influences, the Moon has been an integral part of our planet, all its inhabitants, and our culture at large. ๐ Letโs partake in a long-established tradition of walking at night by the light of our celestial sibling and sharing stories and spaces together. ๐ We will begin with plenty of light, but expect to be hiking at dusk and in the dark. ๐ฆ Lighting Requirements (Important) Headlamps and/or flashlights are mandatory ๐ซ Phone lights are not acceptable substitutes. ๐ด Red-light filters or lenses strongly preferred If you do not have a red lens, you will be expected to hike behind those that do. ๐ At the Summit ๐ We may be at the summit looking for the moonrise as expected, but this is not guaranteed. Moonrise timing can vary depending on where it crests over the horizon.
