Solstice Twilight Picnic with the Vancouver Audubon

  • Cold Creek Campround in the Yacolt Burn State Forest (map)

Join the Vancouver Audubon Society for an evening of birds at dusk and night skies!

Meeting time: Dinner time or after, but before 8:30 pm.

Leader: Randy Hill

Register: Randy Hill (randy.hill.98642@gmail.com, text 360-975-2573) [Note: there might not be service at the meeting site]

Meeting location directions: Yacolt Burn State Forest. Turn left (west) at the DNR L-1300 Road junction with the DNR L-1000 Road (Coordinates 45.759814, -122.323966). This is the Cold Creek campground turnoff approximately 2 miles north of the (now closed) Larch Mountain Correctional Facility where pavement turns to gravel.

Itinerary: Stay as long as you want to enjoy constellations, planets and more satellites than you’d think where city light effects are diminished.

Anticipated birds: Common Nighthawk. Other species occur, with several breeding songbirds still singing and/or feeding young. Approaching dusk or darkness, owls are possible.

No limit of participants, although roadside pullouts are limited. Rocky road conditions vary but accessible to most low clearance vehicles along a dusty road.

Pass requirements: WA State Discover Pass
