Welcome summer with an evening of story, song, hiking, and friendship, enhanced by the warmth of a fire. Choose from a variety of activities, all culminating at the Green Mountain Lodge for a community fire (Fire Regulations permitting). Come early and bring your own picnic dinner! Please remember, no glass is allowed on OSMP. Green Mountain Lodge is located on the Ranger Trail and requires an approximately 0.25 mile walk from the Realization Point parking area on Flagstaff Mountain. Since parking is limited, we encourage carpooling to the trailhead.
