Moon Hike and Observatory Moon Viewing

Meet at the Allegheny Observatory where we will begin our sunset hike as it transitions into night. Please keep flashlights at a minimum as we hope to navigate the trails using just the light of the moon, though low impact flashlights can be provided. The hike will be about a mile but will take us an hour with stops to discuss nocturnal animals with Pittsburgh Park Rangers. There are elevation changes and some rugged trails, please wear closed toed shoes. After the hike we will briefly tour the Observatory before viewing the moon through the telescope. This is a very weather dependent event and will be canceled even if it’s just cloudy, so check your email for cancelations.
