## About

An all-ages evening hike with two environmental educators. Families climb the observation tower for an owl's-eye view, walk down to the Lake Michigan shoreline learning about nocturnal wildlife on the way, and search the beach for unusual rocks and fossils, including glowing Yooperlites. Entirely outdoors; children must be with an adult. If the weather is bad it moves to Thursday, November 12 at the same time.
