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.
This route is a strenuous 6.5 miles roundtrip with 1500+ of vertical and some steep sections not recommended for children under 12. Tickets are $10 general, and $5 for students, youth (12-17 year olds), Sugarloaf members, and Sugarloaf volunteers. All minors must be accompanied by a responsible adult. You must have a ticket to attend. Meet at the White Barn 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 and an accessible porta-potty. There is a 1/4-mile paved road from the Observatory to the Lower Bald Mtn trailhead. Lowr 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 elevation of 1,000+ ft of elevation gain. The route backtracks on these same trails.
