May’s full moon heralds the arrival of all our lovely pollinator flowers. Join Erin Robertson, Friends of Coal Creek’s writer-in-residence, for a guided stroll beneath its glow.

We’ll gather at Aquarius Open Space and amble the Coal Creek Path north toward Lafayette before returning by the same route.

This hike offers a challenge to the senses. When the light is low, what will you hear? How does our sense of perception change when our most important sensing organs (our eyes) are deemphasized? Dress for the conditions and expect to cover 2 miles of sometimes uneven ground in the gathering darkness.
