What a delightful practice. I'll be leading a night hike next month. Perhaps after that, I'll move toward offering something like this.

Natalie, a night hike sounds interesting! How/where do you do those?

I gather a group around dusk and do some teaching as night falls/while our night vision develops. I take the group out as it gets dark so they have an opportunity to rely on their night vision. Currently, I take groups out in a recreational area with a trail system--often just on a bike path because the trails are really, really rooty and I don't want anyone to get hurt.

I love that we can choose silence, even as a group activity.

Your Noble Silent hikes sound like heaven! I've been to Muir Woods and it is awesome and majestic to stand beneath those redwood trees. Thank you for sharing such a great idea! Maybe one of these days I can join your hike. I'm putting it out there, Universe! :)
