Bundle up to walk, snowshoe, or ski and let the glow of candlelight guide you through towering pines of Itasca State Park under a starry night sky. The lantern-lit trail will begin and end at the Forest Inn. Warm up by a campfire placed at the mid-point of the trail before heading back to the Forest Inn, where we invite you to gather outside on the heated patio or inside to enjoy live music. Check back here for more trail details closer to the event.
