Join Docent Naturalists Ani Agahian, Minh Pham, and Mary Ann Frank for a serene sunset adventure geared towards your canine companions. You’ll begin this moderately-paced hike on the Cielo Trail and visit the impressive “Big Tree,” one of the few remaining old-growth redwoods in the area. You’ll then take Coho Vista Loop Trail and stop at the Vista Point to enjoy sweeping views of the sunset to round out the evening. Dogs are welcome but not required—just your sense of curiosity and love for nature. Remember to bring a flashlight. Reservations are required and will be accepted on or after March 28 at 12:00 p.m. (Noon) and close April 10 at 2:00 p.m.
