Hikers are invited to a Harvest Moon and Sunset Hike at First Peoples Buffalo Jump State Park on Wednesday Oct. 8 beginning at 6 p.m.
The three-mile moderately difficult hike will last about two hours. Hikers will enjoy the sunset that evening, followed by the rise of the Harvest Moon as they learn about the history of the park from ranger Andy Keller.
There is a $4 fee to join the hike, which is limited to 25 participants. Reservations are required and can be made by calling the park at 406-866-2217.
On Wednesday Oct. 22, join park staff from 7 to 9 p.m. to enjoy the fantastic night sky seen above the Montana prairie. This open night sky & stargazing viewing is weather dependent and is free of charge. Visitors are invited to bring their own binoculars or telescope to view the brilliant night sky away from the lights of Great Falls. Three telescopes will also be available for use, and hot chocolate and cookies will be provided.
First Peoples Buffalo Jump State Park is located three miles north of Ulm, just off Interstate 15 at exit 270.
