What to Know Before You Go
The Yellow Rock Loop is well-maintained and rated easy to moderate, but you’ll navigate rocky sections, walk along cliff ledges with scenic drop-offs, tackle a few steep inclines, and step over uneven terrain, all part of the Devil’s Den experience. The pace will be comfortable, making it accessible for most fitness levels. Space is limited to 15 participants, so you’ll want to sign up early.
What to Bring:
- Headlamp (required)
- Water (required)
- Blanket, yoga mat, or portable chair for the overlook
- Camera, if you want to capture the moonlit views
- Constellation maps or stargazing apps
The Rules:
- Anyone under 18 needs a legal guardian present
- No alcohol
- Refunds aren’t available after the hike date, but you can transfer to another Full Moon Hike
Charge your headlamp and get ready for a night on the trails.
