Nighttime Forest and Fireflies Hike
Experience the Pisgah National Forest after dark as we search for native fireflies.
Service Description
Join us for a guided Nighttime Forest and Fireflies Hike through the Blue Ridge Mountains. This adventure is perfect for nature enthusiasts, families, and hikers of all experience levels. From late May through July, when fireflies are most active, you'll venture into the forest after sunset to witness the bioluminescence of these remarkable creatures. Our expert guides will lead you through the rich biodiversity of the Appalachian forest, explaining the science behind firefly bioluminescence and sharing the area's natural history. We hike at a relaxed pace, giving you time to connect with the forest's nighttime world and experience a rare natural phenomenon that few get to witness.
