Full Moon Hike

Experience the beauty of summer beneath the glowing Buck Moon during this guided evening hike through Cope’s trails. Named for the time of year when male deer begin rapidly growing their antlers, July’s full moon has long been associated with growth, abundance, and the height of summer. Also known as the Thunder Moon, Hay Moon, and Berry Moon, this full moon reflects the season of powerful summer storms, ripening berries, and busy hay fields across the countryside. As we hike under the moonlit sky, we’ll explore nighttime sounds, seasonal wildlife activity, and the fascinating traditions and folklore connected to July’s full moon.
