On the night of autumn's fullest moon, join Docent Naturalists Catherine Xun, Mari Aldridge, Jianfei Hu, and Naureen Moon for a moderately-paced hike to Borel Hill to watch the moon rise in the east. Wherever you stand, you look up at the same moon with others, a night of reunion known as the Harvest Moon in the West and the Mid-Autumn Festival in the East. You'll celebrate both with moon stories and mooncakes among families, friends, and non-human nature. Led in English and Mandarin, this hike warmly welcomes English-speaking participants. Your route follows the Ridge, Ancient Oaks, and Charquin trails. Reservations are required and will be accepted on or after September 12 at 12:00 p.m. (Noon) and close September 25 at 2:00 p.m.
