But you’re wrong! \nJoin Ace at Shelter 4 for an exciting ultraviolet hike. Hiking/Walking at night is a wonderful opportunity that too few of us partake in. It’s just a little harder to see. When you move through the woods at night with an ultraviolet flashlight\, you open a whole new world. It’s like having a superpower to see invisible creatures and much more. When UV lights hit certain plants\, animals or minerals\, the chemicals in them release visible light. This is not a reflected light. The UV actually excites the chemicals in the object\, which releases the visible light. The effects can actually be spectacular. Whites\, yellows\, orange\, and greens light up like some weird Christmas decorations. It’s something you need to just try. We have the lights for you to use. Dress accordingly\, long pants and sturdy shoes are a great idea. Allow this activity to last about an hour. \nVisit Twin Falls State Park. \nReserve lodging: \nBook Now
