If you live near Cape Hatteras National Seashore in North Carolina, mark your calendars for December 9, when you'll be able to walk the winding staircase to the top of Cape Hatteras Light for free.

The lighthouse will be open to the public for a free Winter Climb from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. that day.

Volunteers from the Outer Banks Lighthouse Society and Cape Hatteras National Seashore park rangers look forward to greeting local residents and visitors at the lighthouse. Children who wish to climb the lighthouse must be at least 42 inches tall, and children under 12 years of age must be escorted by a person at least 16 years old. Climbing the lighthouse is strenuous and is equivalent to climbing a 12-story building.  For more information on what to expect, check the park website www.nps.gov/caha.

“This opportunity to climb Cape Hatteras Lighthouse free of charge is one of many ways to welcome in the holidays along the Outer Banks,” said Cape Hatteras Superintendent Dave Hallac.
