Brief Description of Tour
Join us after sunset for a guided exploration of the Appalachian forest's nocturnal world. During this **Nighttime Forest and Fireflies Hike**, we'll walk quietly through woodlands where fireflies are active. Our naturalist guides will explain the science behind firefly bioluminescence, share local natural history, and help you understand the forest's nighttime ecosystem. The hike moves at a gentle pace to allow time for observation. This slow-paced, family-friendly hike is perfect for those seeking a deeper connection to nature, away from the daytime crowds and into the mountain's nighttime magic. Our firefly tours offer a rare and magical experience during the brief seasonal window when these creatures illuminate the forest.
