All Moon Walks are held on a Saturday night close to the official full moon and begin at 7:00 PM. Most programs last for 1-2 hours, and visitors walk an average of 1-mile round trip.
The Black Hills Parks and Forests Association (BHPFA) is offering 2023 Moon Walk Collector’s Pins at each event for $5.00 each. The sale of lapel pins supports the interpretive and educational efforts across the Black Hills National Forest. The Moon Walk Programs are supported by BHPFA through financial assistance and staffing; BHPFA is a non-profit partner with the U.S. Forest Service.
The Carson Draw Trail System provides an incredible backdrop of scenery while exploring the ponderosa pine forest. Ranging from mid-season wildflowers to an array of wildlife, the beautiful Bearlodge Ranger District offers adventurous treks for the casual hiker. Join Forest staff on an easy walk through a pine forest, searching for signs of life … bring your little Junior Forest Rangers.
