Night Hike at Minneopa State Park |
|
| | Posted by: KatoInfo.com |
| | Time: 9:00 pm |
| | Night presents a whole new world to most of us. Very few of us spend extended periods of time in the dark and some people may even become fearful of the night. As humans we are constantly trying to reduce the fun of being outside after dark. On the other hand, animals adapt their lives and themselves to the conditions of both day and night. On this hike we will learn how to use our five senses (sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell) in the dark without using any artificial light. Please meet at the parking lot on the gravel road about halfway to Seppmann Windmill on the north side.
5 miles west of Mankato on State Highway 68 and U.S. Highway 169.
