For this hike, we'll hike through prairies and woods where you can enjoy Dane County's most visible section of the glacial terminal moraine. Total will be ~4 miles as we'll enjoy the trail up to County M through a section we call Moraine Kettles due to some nice kettle ponds we'll go by. We'll also explore off the IAT in Prairie Moraine a little by going up to the observation platform for some great views of the Sugar River valley.

With the Full Moon rising during the hike, we'll go through the prairies and wooded areas near Table Bluff -- out in the driftless area. Round trip is 4.8 miles with a couple moderate hills.
We'll explore the restored prairies and oak savannas along the trail and hopefully have a great view overlooking the Black Earth Creek valley with Blue Mounds off in the distance. And on the return part of the hike, we'll hopefully experience a great full moon overlooking the valley.
And of course be on the look out for the Swamplovers alligator!
Depending on weather / cloud cover, be sure to have good hiking shoes and lights/headlamps in case the moon isn't able to fully light the way. Trekking poles may also be desired.
