Friday, November 15th

Join Endless Mountains Heritage Region (EMHR) on their second Small Business Support Hike on Nov. 15, 2024! This night hike will be at Mt. Pisgah State Park outside of Troy, with a full moon-themed evening. We will first gather at Building No. 9 Grill (16 Elmira St, Troy, PA) at 5 p.m. for dinner (paid individually) to support a local small business in the community. After dinner, participants will meet at the Nature Center at Mt. Pisgah State Park (41.807336, -76.667291) at 7 p.m.

Participants can look at the moon through a telescope and join a guest educator from Cherry Springs State Park in viewing lunar natural features and discovering where moon landings took place among them. After a brief presentation on the size and scale of the moon, embark on an amazing telescope tour of the moon’s surface. In the event of cloud-cover, we will offer a presentation on moon phases, moon formation, and moon landings. Following the program will be a short 2.5 mile night walk on the Park’s “Oh! Susannah Trail” loop, which will take about an hour and a half to complete. Elevation gain for this loop is about 173 feet. Hikers should wear appropriate clothing and footwear (hiking shoes or boots and a coat), a flashlight or headlamp, and a supply of water. This program is free and open to the public, but we ask that you please register for a head count for the program.
