The Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year, falls on Sunday, December 21st. Sunrise is 7:11 AM, with dawn officially starting at 6:40 AM. For those hearty souls who want to greet the turning of the seasons with half-open eyes, join us at the parking lot at the end of Drabbington Way at 6:30 AM. We will hike up Cat Rock in the dark to celebrate the sunrise with hot chocolate.


Please register for the walk if you plan to attend. Thank you!


Note: If it is completely overcast or raining, we will postpone the walk until the summer solstice.
