September’s Harvest Moon will be led by Erink Hutchins of Park City Ghost Tours. We will wander up the canyon through protected open space and venture to where hundreds of miners toiled deep in the mines and prospected for fortune. From the Weeping Widow to the Man in the Yellow Slicker, we will learn about the spirits who walk there still. Trust us when we say, you won't want to be caught up in Empire Canyon alone with these straggling souls. 

All moonrise times are for Park City, UT according to the Old Farmer's Almanac website.
