Join Docent Naturalists Noa Doitel, Susan Bernhard, Ann Reisenauer, and Maureen Draper for a scenic hike and views of the sun as it sinks beyond the horizon. You'll follow the Charquin Trail to the Alder Spring and Hawk Ridge trail, then head back up to Ridge Trail. On the return trip you’ll follow the Badger’s Byway and Ridge trails back to the parking area, paying special attention to how birds respond to the approaching dusk. You’ll have the opportunity to enjoy views of both the ocean and the bay, gaining a vantage point from which to identify Mt. Diablo and other local landmarks. Bring a snack to enjoy while you watch the sun set behind the rolling hills and the ocean. Reservations are required and will be accepted on or after August 8 at 12:00 p.m. (Noon) and close August 21st at 2:00 p.m
