Full Moon Hike
Rally Pavilion at the Running Center, QH83+3M, Houston, TX, USMost people think there’s nowhere to hike in Houston.
That it’s too flat, too hot, or too “city.”But here’s the truth — Houston does have trails worth exploring. You just need to know where to go… and have a crew that actually shows up.
Join us for a Full Moon Hike — a free outdoor adventure designed to help you get outside, breathe a little deeper, and meet people who love exploring as much as you do.
As the moon rises over the trees, we’ll walk through one of Houston’s hidden green spaces.You’ll hear crickets, the soft crunch of dirt under your boots, and laughter from people who were strangers just minutes ago.
This isn’t a fitness test — it’s an experience.
It’s about feeling alive, grounded, and connected.Whether you’re new to Houston, tired of the same old routine, or just craving a break from “all work, no play,” this is your invitation to rediscover what’s right here in your backyard — and who you might find along the way.
Details:
- Distance: 2.5-3 miles on natural trails (yes, real hills — in Houston!)
- We’ll hike about 24 minute miles give or take
- Bring: A red-light headlamp,
Water
Sturdy shoesAdults Only
No dogs (we love them, but so do the coyotes)
NOTE: While this event is open to everyone, it is a little harder to hike at night. Please make sure you’re comfortable walking 3 miles during the day before signing up for this event.
We’ll meet at 6:45 PM; the hike starts at 7 pm promptly — come early to find parking and settle in before the moon makes her entrance.

Dinner after Full Moon Hike
Canyon Creek Cafe, 6603 Westcott St., Houston, TX, USLet’s face it. When you go on a hike, and you don’t really know anyone, you tend to just talk to the person who’s walking next to you. And while we try to mix things up on the hike, there’s no better easy to get to know people than over a little food and drinks!
Whether you hike with us or not, meet up for some dinner and drinks.How to find the group:
Look for the HTXO/BCO Signs and the group of sweaty people who look like they just hiked!NOTE: Our hike is done at about 8:30 pm at Memorial Park, so if you arrive before us, please grab a table outside.
Fees:
The Event is free to join, bring some money for your own food and drink.Parking:
There is a small parking lot and street parking. Watch for not to park signs near the residential houses, and do not leave anything visible in your car.RSVP at https://htxoutdoors.com/events/dinner-after-full-moon-hike-20/ For additional info, drop us a line at info@HTXoutdoors.com.
