Lantern walks or hikes are absolutely magical. We usually do ours as family in November, when the nights are suddenly longer and darker. We also go on a candlelight hike at state parks in our area, when they're available, which is even more amazing, because it's always a multi-mile trail through the woods, marked by candles, with a ton of people. I highly recommend hiking in winter, especially with a light!
I've never heard of a candlelight hike! Just Googled it and they don't really have those in our area. Just added that experience to my bucket list 😉
But yes, winter is an underrated time to hike! Definitely something magical about the darkness of winter--or rather, the beauty of gentle light shining in the darkness! Thanks for sharing this, Sarah.
