Coyote Howl & Telescopes

Coyote mating season is at its peak in mid-February. Join us for a night hike as we explore the trails listening for the yips and howls of the song dog at its most active time of year.

Following the hike, observe the wonders of our dark skies through our telescopes in the TWC observatory. Be inspired by all the night sky has to offer: constellations, craters on the Moon, the rings of Saturn, stellar nurseries, galaxies, and more. If cloudy, we will explore the same night sky in the TWC planetarium instead of using the telescopes.

Bring your red-light flashlight – white lights are not allowed on the trails at night. Don’t have a red-light flashlight? Bring your flashlight and we can make it red for you.  Hiking boots and weather appropriate attire are recommended. 

Registration required for all attendees age 5 and over.  $10 per person.
