The following press release was published by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service on June 17. It is reproduced in full below.

You are cordially invited to celebrate Bryce Canyon's thrilling Night-Life! Check your calendar and join us for a uniquely "Bryce" experience.

During full moons, (1-2 consecutive nights each month), when the mix of shadows and moonlight cause the hoodoos to take on spooky personalities, we offer 1-2 mile-long moonlit hikes.

Typically (but depending on staffing) the park offers two hike options--a more strenuous hike that descends down into the canyon along steep and rocky trails and an easier hike that travels along the rim of the plateau.

Due to the nature of this special activity all participants must agree to the following rules:

* Children 7 and younger are not permitted.

* Hiking boots or hiking shoes (lug soles) in good condition are required for your safety and the safety of Park Staff and other Participant(s).

* White light flashlights, headlamps are not allowed to be used during the hike (you may bring them for later use). Red light flashlights and headlamps are permitted as necessary. Flash photography may be permitted under key restrictions.

* Bring drinking water and a jacket - night time temperatures can be cold.

* Due to steep and rocky trails this activity is not wheelchair accessible.
