Magic? Fairies? Mythical beasts? What could that glow in the forest be?
Come find out at Anna Ruby Falls’ Foxfire Night Hike. Guests will be treated with a guided hike up to the falls and will get to view the amazing bioluminescent phenomenon that is Foxfire.
The Foxfire Night Hikes will take place at Anna Ruby Falls Scenic Area. We will be hiking up the paved .4 mile trail (.8 miles round trip). Portions of the trail are steep, but we will be taking it slow for hikers of all abilities. The hikes will occur at night with limited visibility.
While we all love our furry friends, pets are NOT permitted at this event.
In the wake of Hurricane Helene, our cherished public lands have faced significant challenges. Your support is crucial in helping us restore and reopen these vital spaces.
Here’s how your donation can make a profound impact:
Your contribution will directly fund the rebuilding of bridges and boardwalks damaged by flooding, rerouting heavily eroded trails, and clearing debris from our beautiful outdoor areas. These spaces are not just paths and parks; they are the backdrop for family memories, adventures, and connections to nature.
We’re committed to empowering our communities with the knowledge and resources to prepare for future emergencies, ensuring everyone can enjoy the great outdoors safely.
Many people who care for public lands have been affected by the storm. Your generosity will help provide them with vital support during this challenging time.
