Full Moon Hike

Bring a flashlight and your sense of wonder as you explore the park after dark. This hike heads up to the summit of Bald Mountain, where we will see the moon rise over the Mayacamas and the sun set over Sonoma Valley.

This is a strenuous hike of approximately 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 6:00pm.

Tickets are $10 general or $5 for youth (12-17 year olds), students, Sugarloaf members, Sugarloaf volunteers. All minors must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. You must have a ticket to attend. 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.

Ease of access: The White Barn parking lot has one van-designated parking spot, an accessible porta-potty, and a potable water spigot near the information kiosk. There is no cell service at the park. There is a ¼-mile paved road from the White Barn parking lot to the Lower Bald Mtn trailhead adjacent to the Robert Ferguson Observatory. Lower Bald Mtn Trail is a single-track dirt and gravel trail with multiple narrow switchbacks and inclines for an elevation gain of approximately 500ft. It merges with Bald Mtn Trail, a paved fire road with 1,000+ ft of elevation gain—the route backtracks on these same trails.
