Volunteer: 9/2025 - 12/2025 - Docents Needed! Sunset Moonrise Hike SupportWe are requesting at least 2 docents/sweeps that can hike at a reasonable pace to help folks get up the hill at Coyote Valley for our first Sunset Moonrise Hike Series!
Bonus points - a beautiful view to enhance your meaningful time. Sign up for one or all! Please note the times have changes for October, November, and December hikes. Program Description for the Public Take an unforgettable evening adventure on a guided 4-mile Arrowhead Loop Trail at Coyote Valley Open Space Preserve. We will leave when the light is golden and the grasslands are alive with birdsong. As we ascend toward the ridge, this gentle climb offers sweeping views of the Coyote Valley and surrounding foothills. Once we reach the top, settle in to watch nature’s double feature: the sun sinking below the Santa Cruz Mountains in one direction, and the moon rising over the Diablo Range in the other. The transition from day to night is quiet and magical here. After dark, we begin our descent under the moonlight. With headlamps or flashlights in hand, we will follow the trail down through oak woodlands and open meadows. It’s peaceful, a little thrilling, and a completely different way to experience a familiar landscape. Bring water, layers, a flashlight or headlamp and maybe a thermos of something warm. Times will vary on this hike series so check our calendar for departure times.
