New Favorite Thing – Lighted Forest Walks

Itโ€™s hard to believe, but I might be changing my ways in my old age. Iโ€™ve always loved sunrise walks, but after an evening walk through an illuminated forest Iโ€™ve found a new favorite walking experience. What a beautiful escape into another world surrounded by stars and northern lights. I love the Christmas lights in neighborhoods and along Main Street in December and now wish along with those that the lighted forest walk would continue on weekends throughout the dark winter. Iโ€™ve discovered that a few of our state parks have lantern-lit winter hikes throughout the season and hopefully Iโ€™ll be able to add another favorite walk.

  1. Another great photo! And I can see why you would want the forest lights to stay up through the winter. Give more opportunities for people to walk there during January and February.

  2. Wonderful! A lantern walk sounds lovely, too. I’m a fan of winter full moon walks in the sparkling white snow.

    1. Thank you!๐Ÿ™‚ I loved the walk and even though we set a record with 61 degrees today and it doesnโ€™t look like there will be a white Christmas, weโ€™re definitely going again if it snows. A full moon walk in the snow sounds amazing.โ˜ƒ๏ธ๐ŸŽ„๐Ÿ™‚

  5. I have done two or three of these illuminated walks and enjoyed them, but I feel a little guilty about the wildlife disturbance that they must cause.

    1. Iโ€™m sure the lantern-lit winter hikes are less stressful on the animals than all the lights at this event, but thankfully there were no fireworks and hopefully the hidden birds and deer liked carolers.๐Ÿ™‚
