April Fools Full Moon Night Hike

April 1 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

Think you’ve seen it all? Think again. This April Fools’ Day, head to the McKaig Nature Education Center for a hike that’s 100% real, even if the date feels suspicious. With sunset at 7:25 PM and the moon rising at 7:19 PM, the hike’s departure from the Roberts Elementary School parking lot will be timed for just when the shadows start to play tricks on your eyes. Is that a tree stump or a woodland prankster? Only one way to find out!

Details:

  • Distance: A breezy 1.5 mile hike.
  • Elevation: 300 feet of gain—enough to make you wonder if the hill is growing as a joke.
  • Terrain: Pure, unadulterated dirt, rocks and roots.
  • Duration: 90 minutes of wondering why your (red light only) headlamp keeps hitting spiderwebs.

The “April Fools” Connection: In 2026, the Pink Moon falls exactly on April 1st. This is a rare cosmic alignment that hasn’t happened in years, making it the perfect night to tell your hiking buddy their shoelaces are untied while they’re navigating a 300-foot incline.  Peak full moon is 10:12pm

What to Bring:

  • Dress for the weather

  • No Hats: Let your hair feel the moonlight (and the occasional low-hanging branch).

  • A Sense of Humor: Essential for when you realize 1.5 miles feels much longer in the dark.

Meet in the Roberts Elementary School parking lot by 7:20pm.
