Let’s kick off Summer with a Magical Full Moon Hike

As the longest day of the year approaches, we invite you to join us in celebrating the Summer Solstice with an enchanting full Moon Hike. On this special evening, you'll have the opportunity to experience the magic of the Strawberry moon as it rises over the City of Norwich. Whether you're an avid hiker or just looking to enjoy a beautiful evening in nature, this event offers a unique way to mark the beginning of summer.

On June 21st, we are offering two distinct hikes to the Face, where you will witness the stunning moonrise.

The first hike begins at 6:30 PM from the Dungeon on Upper Ravine Road. This group will embark on a journey that will take them through a variety of special sites, offering a gradual and exploratory route to the face of the quarry.

For those seeking a more vigorous challenge, the second hike will start at 7:30 PM from Wheeler Avenue. This shorter but steeper route will provide an exhilarating ascent, perfect for those who enjoy a challenge but want to keep it short. The sense of accomplishment upon reaching the Face will be matched only by the breathtaking view of the moon ascending in the twilight sky.

Participants in both hikes are encouraged to wear sturdy footwear and bring a flashlight for the journey back. As we gather at the Face, you’ll have the chance to connect with fellow Greenway members, and enjoy the magical atmosphere of the moonlit evening.

This event is a wonderful opportunity to connect with nature, celebrate the change of seasons, and witness a celestial phenomenon that only enhances the beauty of our trails. We hope you'll join us for this experience to kick off the summer.

Mark your calendars for June 21st, and choose your hiking adventure – whether it's the exploratory path from the Dungeon or the ascent from Wheeler Avenue. Either way, you're in for an evening of wonder and natural splendor.

Embrace the Magic: Full Moon Hike on August 30th

Get ready to embark on an evening adventure as we invite you to join us for a captivating Full Moon Hike on the evening of August 30th. This celestial event promises to be an experience that will allow you to connect with nature and the cosmos in a whole new light.

What makes this Full Moon Hike even more special is that it's a "blue moon" – the second full moon in August – and it's also a "super moon," appearing larger and brighter in the night sky.

For this special event there will be two separate hiking groups. The first group will depart from the Upper Ravine Road entrance, also known as the Dungeon. The second group will begin their adventure from the Wheeler Ave entrance. Both groups will converge at the face of the Stone Quarry, where together, we plan to watch the moon rise over the tranquil hillside.

For this extraordinary experience, we recommend wearing comfortable footwear suitable for the terrain, and bringing a flashlight to guide your way. Whether you're a seasoned hiker or new to nocturnal adventures, this hike promises a unique perspective that will leave you feeling connected to the universe..

Don't miss this chance to be a part of an event that comes around only once in a blue moon – literally! Join us on August 30th and be a witness to the magic that the night sky has in store.

Both hiking groups will depart at 7pm from their respective entrances. Come together under the full blue moon and create memories that will last a lifetime.

We can't wait to share this ethereal experience with you. See you on the Full Blue Moon Hike!
