Sunrise Hike: Every Day is a New Day

Experience the sense of renewal and possibility of the early morning with Docent Naturalists Catherine Xun, Ani Agahian, Mari Aldridge, and Stephen Buckhout on a peaceful and leisurely-paced sunrise hike at one of the Bay Area's highest peaks. You’ll have a unique opportunity to embrace the quiet moments before the world awakens, witness the first light transforming the landscape, and listen for early morning wildlife stirring to greet the day. Bring a red-covered flashlight or headlamp with a red light (we can provide red cellophane if you need it). Reservations are required and will be accepted on or after July 20 at 12:00 p.m. (Noon) and close August 1 at 2:00 p.m.
