Solstice Ski and Hike Night

The winter solstice represents the longest nights for the hardy Minnesotan. To celebrate the brighter days coming, Washington County Parks welcomes friends and families out to enjoy lit ski and walking trails at Lake Elmo Park Reserve. More than 200 tiki torches will be marking the trails for skiers and walkers of all skill levels. Other activities during the night include a visit from Santa, a chance to take a look at the stars with an astronomer and his telescope, and plenty of warm beverages and campfires to take away the night's chill. This event is free with a Washington County Parks vehicle permit. Skiers must purchase a MN ski pass for use of the groomed trails.
