Enjoy a full moon hike at Black Star Canyon on Irvine Ranch Natural Landmarks. We will hike along a flat trail and cross a creek as we watch for red-tailed hawks and mule deer. The hike will average 2-3 miles round trip at an easy pace with a medium level of interpretation. This program is for participants who would enjoy a slower paced level hike. Wear comfortable clothes and sturdy shoes, and bring water and a flashlight for the hike. Be ready to enjoy the sounds and smells along with the full moon
