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. Suggested donation $5 Member/$10 Non member RAIN DATE: Saturday June 22
