Summon up some courage and come walk the 1.3-mile Black Rock loop under a blanket of darkness as we sweep the trail with blacklights and flashlights. Searching for scorpions’ iconic glow who knows what we might find? Closed toed shoes, drinking water, and flashlight required. Blacklights encouraged. No pets please.

MEETING LOCATION: Area 4, Blackrock Trailhead
