    See Jockey’s Ridge in a different light during an evening adventure with Ranger Austin. Follow the park’s newly built boardwalk to the base of the dunes, then climb to the ridge while exploring the stories behind this extraordinary coastal landscape.

    Along the way, learn about the park’s natural and cultural history, dune ecology, geology, and more. The program is listed for all ages, but participants should be comfortable walking on sand and climbing the dunes. Dress for the evening weather and wear suitable footwear.
