Last night’s adventure was a hike by candlelight at Nerstrand Big Woods State Park.



There is something magical about hiking in the freezing cold, at night, by candlelight. The sky was crystal clear, the almost full moon and stars sparkled above us, and the world around us was quiet.






The fragrant scent of the roaring bonfires radiated throughout the park.

The candlelight trail was very family friendly and not terribly long, so all ages could enjoy themselves. We hiked the trail twice before calling it a night. At the park office, a friendly ice snowman greeted us.


Last night’s hiking adventure was 1.6 miles.

So beautiful!! Thank you for taking me there vicariously!

Candle-lit and lantern-lit winter trails are so cozy and lovely. We haven’t been on one this year yet. Thanks for sharing your walk.

That is such a great idea they had. I would love to do a candle lit walk.
