Sweetheart Night Hike

***Please note that using this Facebook Event page to indicate you are going does not mean you are registered for the event. You must register by using the link or calling the number below.***

Cuddle up with your special someone and join a naturalist for a romantic, guided night hike. Glowing luminaries will set the path through the darkened forest. Let your night vision develop for an intimate experience in the forest without artificial light. We’ll stop along the way to discover some of the courtship behaviors found in nature — and how they mirror our own.

You may bring your own adult beverage to sip along the way (beer and wine only, please). After the hike, warm up by a crackling campfire, play a few group participation games and make s’mores together.

Fee: Free!
Age: Ages 21 or older.

Registration required by Thursday, Feb. 12, by calling 815-722-4121 or online: https://anc.apm.activecommunities.com/fpdwc/activity/search/detail/9892?onlineSiteId=0&from_original_cui=true

The hike will be less than 1 mile on natural, uneven terrain. We will meet at the first pavilion (Shagbark Grove). Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service to participate in this program should submit a request online ( https://www.reconnectwithnature.org/americans-with-disabilities-act-information/request-accommodation-inclusion-service/) no later than 48 hours before the program.
