Naked Full Moon Hike

Come join us on a (nearly) Full Moon Hike. We're hiking the Ridge Trail, which is a moderately difficut trail. It is about a mile round trip. We'll stop at the top of the Ridge Trail. To the west, you can catch glimses of the Bay. To the east, we'll watch the moonrise.

Our nights do get cool, so you might want to bring a light layer. Also, a small part of the trail is off Sequoians land. We have neighbors' permission to hike, but as a courtesy on the very rare occassion we might encounter someone, please bring a wrap.

We will meet at the picnic tables outside the Rec Hall. The moonrise is fairly early, so we should get a quick start following potluck.

Other suggestions you might want to bring:

Water

Walking poles

Flashlight/ headlamp

Wrap, just in case

About Sequoians:

The Sequoians is a private, family-friendly, clothes-free, nudist recreation club in a beautiful oak, bay and madrone foothill forest. We are located in a warm microclimate in the center of the East Bay, 33 miles from San Francisco. Our secluded club in the Castro Valley Canyonlands offers a private and safe environment to enjoy social nude recreation.

The Sequoians is the oldest established nudist facility in the Bay Area, incorporated in 1947. We are a charter member of the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR) and International Naturist Federation (INF).

What to expect:

New to the idea of a nude club? Sequoians is family-friendly with clear guidelines on acceptable behavior. All members are screened upon their first visit. If this is your first visit and you are planning on participating in an activity, please leave time for registration and screening when you check-in. This is usually done quickly, and you then will be given a tour of our facilities. Our goal is to maintain our solid reputation by continuing to provide a comfortable, relaxed environment for people of all ages to enjoy. We invite you to escape from the rigors of your everyday routine.

During the club’s Open Season (April through October) visitors may visit four times on Saturdays, Sundays, or designated holidays before deciding if they’d like to apply for membership. Membership entitles them continued access onto Sequoians’ grounds for the purpose and enjoyment of nude recreation. Prospective member/visitor gate fee is $28. AANR/Other club member gate fee is $23.

During Open Season (April-October) the Sequoians office hours are weekends/designated holidays: 10:00 am – 5:00 pm.

Come enjoy the day relaxing by the heated pool or in the hot tub. We have a bocce court, a sports court, and a putting green. Inside the Rec Hall we have a pool table and ping pong table. We have multiple refrigerators, a full kitchen, and barbeques available for use.

If you plan on coming to one of our evening events, you must arrive 1 hour before the gate and office close at 5 pm and pay the daily gate fee, and gain entrance. No admittance after 5 pm.

Every Saturday we have a potluck dinner at 6:30 pm. We always welcome visitors! Feel free to bring something to share, but no obligation. Come socialize and get to know some of our members a bit better.
