Glowing Scorpion Search Under a Full Moon
Friday, October 23, 2026$25
4:30 - 8:30 p · Mount WIlson (Eaton Saddle Trail)
Join us on Mount Lowe, 5000 ft above Los Angeles, to search for luminescent scorpions under the full moonlight. Guided by Allison Ayad - local chercheuse of luminescent scorpions.
We will start the evening with a slow and gentle 3 mile hike to the top of Mount Lowe, where we will enjoy an intimate gongfu tea ceremony. Sunset is at 6:11 pm. Afterwards, we will leisurely return to the start of the hike, while looking for glowing scorpions in the full moonlight.
(event is held 2 days before full moon peak)
