The 2nd Annual Halloween Night Hike at Kenna Cartwright Park!
CAUTION: This is a night hike and will involve hiking up Black Diamond Kenna “Ridge” Trail. You need to be sure of your fitness level, as well as your night/darkness balance ability, before you sign up for this hike. HEADLAMPS MANDATORY……POLES, COSTUMES HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
This hike is weather dependent! Please check back here the night before the hike to see if there are any hike/weather updates!
LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOUR COSTUMES! There may be treats!😄
👻🎃
A Spooky Big Thanks to Helen Gendron for volunteering to partner-lead this event a second year and to Maureen Thorkelson for co-leading with us this year!👻
Come out for a good lil Halloween Hoof up to the top of Kenna to see the stunning night-time city views and have a treat or two with your friends from the hiking club! Tricks may be required. We will don our headlamps and hike up along the top of Ridge, stop for snack/treat/tea, then head down the Tower Trail. Bring your backpacking chairs and hot thermos of tea – and bundle up!! Poles are very helpful in the dark with balance. Please be sure to park your vehicle in the lower lot (nearest the road) at the Kenna Gazebo – just in case they lock up the upper lot early.
Costumes or Costume Hats are strongly encouraged! (Please think ahead and make sure they are Hiking-Safe). You can even decorate your pack with halloween lights! Get into the spirit of Halloween and let your nutty side show!

My hiking style is a relaxed one - to best take in all the beauty around us.Hunting new wildflowers and fungi will often cause me to be looking everywhere except the trail.
I like to think up unusual/themed hikes (nature is fun), including Art Hikes, Historical Hikes, Wacky Race Events, Santa Stocking Hunts, Halloween Hikes, Photography Hikes, Astronomy/Full Moon Night Hikes, Fossil Hikes, etc.I also seek out interesting things to see and share in nature - gorgeous waterfalls and views, crazy geological formations, scenic forests, and other very special places.
I'm always open to hearing new hike ideas from other hikers.
Hope to see you all on the trails soon!
