All times are local to the venue · America/New York
Starting at Rockwood’s Conservatory, Seasonal Sunset Hikes head beyond the museum building for a 2–3 mile guided walk. The route circles Rockwood Park and crosses Bringhurst Woods, with museum staff pointing out seasonal and historical features along the way.
The monthly outing uses the Delaware Greenways Trail and moves at a leisurely pace, with opportunities to stop along the route. It is a guided walk rather than a timed fitness event, though the distance and uneven ground are worth considering when deciding whether to join.
The starting point is part of Rockwood’s historic estate, which includes gardens and a Rural Gothic mansion with a conservatory. The hike is an outdoor program; an indoor mansion tour is not listed as part of it.
