Bring a flashlight and your sense of wonder as you explore the park after dark. This hike begins at the White Barn and heads up to the top of Bald Mountain, where we will see the moon rise over the Mayacamas and the sun set over Sonoma Valley.
The Bald Mountain route is a strenuous 6.5 miles with 1500+ of vertical and some steep sections (not recommended for children under 12). It leaves the White Barn parking lot at 5:15pm.
You must have a ticket to attend. Tickets are $10 general or $5 for students, youth (12-17 year olds), Sugarloaf members, and Sugarloaf volunteers. All minors must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Be at the meeting location at least 10 minutes prior to the start of the hike for a prompt departure. Bring your flashlight, at least a quart of water, snacks, and extra layers for the evening. Parking fees apply.
