Full Moon Nature Therapy Walk

Enjoy a full moon guided nature therapy walk in Franklin Mountains State Park.

This is an opportunity to slow down and tap into your senses as the sun sets and the full moon rises over the Franklin Mountains. Led by Jenna Dodson, a trainee with the Association of Forest and Nature Therapy, this event will be an experience of quiet attention and deep listening, to yourself and our shared home. 

Reservations required; to reserve your spot, call the office at (915) 444-9100.

Restrooms are available 0.6 miles away from the parking area. The walk will take place on the Nature Walk, an easy 3/4 mile loop trail.
