]]> It is the time of the year to stow away our paddles and look ahead to the season of snow. Join us in honouring the Stó:lō seasons of the moon under the Xets’ō:westel moon on a night hike up Thacker Mountain in Hope where astrophotographer and cosmos aficionado Eloi Homier, aka “The Moon Guy Next Door,” will share his passion for the night sky and our closest celestial neighbour, the moon!​​

Come and join us in Hope for an educational night hike under the full moon! While hiking the Thacker Mountain Loop trail you will learn about the lunar cycle, lunar and solar eclipses, star navigation and constellations, as well as “low-tech astronomy.”

Learn more about night vision, the effects of light pollution, finding and recognizing the planets, and more! Enjoy a beautiful view over the town of Hope with the towering snow-capped mountains in the background, lit by the night sky. We will stop at various viewpoints along the way where participants will enjoy a hot apple cider treat to keep warm.​​
