The Full Wolf Moon Hike will be a brisk 4-mile hike through fields and forests. Meet us at the Ranger Station 1775 Darby Creek Drive Galloway, OH 43119.

What is so special about this moon? According to the Almanac, January’s full Moon is a “Micromoon” this year. Think of this term as the opposite of a “Supermoon.” It simply means that the full Moon is at its farthest point from Earth (not the nearest point). In astronomical terms, we call this “apogee.” Specifically, January’s Micro full Moon is about 252,600 miles from Earth. (https://www.almanac.com/content/full-moon-january)

Battelle Darby Metro Park is located just west of Grove City. Battelle Darby Creek is 8,000 acres of forest, prairies and wetlands. Stretches along 13 miles of the Big and Little Darby creeks, both State and National Scenic Rivers. Bison have been reintroduced to the park and roam freely within two enclosed pastures.
