Event details

When the calendar lines up for a blue moon, Carter Caves invites families out for a guided night hike under unusually bright skies. Expect a slower pace, plenty of stargazing pauses, and a chance to hear nighttime forest sounds that you never notice on daytime trails.

Bring headlamps, warm layers, and a thermos for the drive back to the lodge. It’s a memorable way to end a spring weekend in Kentucky’s cave country.
