Visit Bloedel Reserve during the Winter Solstice to explore the trails with a guided tour and your family as the sun sets. These evenings are designed for families and conversations along the trail. These are not silent walks. The walk will take about 1 hour, has stairs, and is a little over a mile in length.

Arrive early to enjoy a cozy fire pit, sip on a warm beverage, and savor festive snacks before your walk. It’s also a great time for some last-minute holiday shopping in our Gift Shop. Please read the Know Before You Go information below before booking.

Don’t forget to pick up your Solstice keepsake at the end of your walk!
