Let's do it again - Spence Basin Night Hike by Moonlight

Details

4 Miles - 400 ft

This hike uses Noodle, Juniper Gate, Tunnel Vision (but not through the tunnel this time), and a bit of Sidekick and Waterline trails. A lot of it is in the opposite direction from what we've done before so it'll look like a new trail.

The trails in Spence Basin have far fewer loose rocks than the trails for the previous 2 night hikes, so we should finish the 4 miles in around 2 hours.

The almost full moon will give us some light. You'll still need a headlamp if you use poles. If you don't use poles, you can probably get away with a handheld flashlight, but it's not ideal. No flashlight is not an option! In any case, make sure the batteries are fully charged or new as appropriate.

The moon rises earlier on the days right before the full moon, so we will have moonlight available before the sun sets.

Hard to say what the temps will be this far out, but probably around 80º to start. Should be pretty shady for the first half hour when the sun is still (barely) up.

Guests are allowed, as are dogs. No need to ask :-)
