A2. Portions of Namibia & South Africa such as Kgalagadi Park. A lot of this was done by van camping looking up at the miracle of the night sky. #ParkChat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS I love spotting meteors - I saw 3 in about 5 minutes camping near @FundyNP last September. In terms of constellations, Orion, Ursa Major, the Summer Triangle...astronomy tends to work as an evening program, so trying to work on those. #ParkChat

A8. I just took my first-ever moonlight hike with Southern Nevada Conservancy and @blmnv volunteers. It was fantastic. I didn't use a flashlight but definitely had to think about where I was placing my feet. #ParkChat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS A8. As a full time RVer, I'm always in parks after dark and love taking night hikes, especially in the light of the full moon! I always take a headlamp and some extra batteries and good shoes to keep the snakes from biting. šŸ #ParkChat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS A8 #ParkChat My first backpacking night hike was under a full moon in @NCascadesNPS. My husband and I challenged ourselves to go as long as we could without our handlamps. It was a surprisingly long time!

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS A8. I work for an organization that develops hiking events (@Rainbow_Routes ), and this fall we held a full moon hike & bonfire party. The trails felt silent and peaceful. #ParkChat

replying to @beckyjlomax @beckyjlomax @cairochris @Wild_Tribute Yes, if today's full moon fell tomorrow, Easter would be on this coming Sunday this year - instead its one of the latest dates for Easter in years! #ParkChat

I havenā€™t taken in a full moon hike but did do a Ranger led hike to Mills Lake in RMNP for the eclipse. It got pretty dusky

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS A8: most of mine were simply days that went into overtime for one reason or another. Also, both my R'-R-R hikes were timed for it #ParkChat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS A7. The occasional coyote would be ok, but they often wake me up at night if the windows are open. Wish I could hear loons more often. I do enjoy all the night singing birds--owls, mockingbirds, nightjars, etc.

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS A8) I've been on numerous Full Moon Walks at @JohnMuirNPS, if the moonlight is bright enough I tend to walk a bit slower without a flashlight on going down Mt Wanda so not to trip & fall. #ParkChat

Q9. Modern camera technology allows us to ā€œseeā€ the night sky in new ways. How should parks use these spectacular photos? Could some photos create unnatural expectations for visitors coming to the parks? #ParkChat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS A8) We've totally explored by full moon, it's quite something. It's always amazing how much light the moon reflects and the stark difference when it's night and there's a new moon and it's so dark. #ParkChat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS A8 Weā€™ve done lots of full moon hikes and full moon ski trips. I tend to prefer the full moon ski trips as the snow picks up so much moon glow. #parkchat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS #parkchat A8 We've done them around our house in @BlackHillsNF & it's fun to turn off the flashlights, get adjusted, & walk through the trees by moonlight! Winter is the best with the white snow offering even more visibility. Different animals by night i.e. flying squirrels here!

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS A8: not sure about full moon. I remember nighttime hikes in Madagascar to see nocturnal lemurs. Had headlamps with red light and jumping at my own shadow! Also had a tradition of nighttime lantern nature walk to celebrate winter solstice. #ParkChat
