Join Docent Naturalists Dave Kocsis, Lindsay Joye, and Ann McCarty for an evening hike. You’ll ramble along the Canyon Trail, observing the late summer flora and fauna, and climb Black Mountain on the scenic Bella Vista Trail. You'll watch the sun set and the full moon rise at the summit with a commanding view of the South Bay and Santa Cruz Mountains. Bring dinner to enjoy at a scenic site en route. This is a strenuous but moderately-paced excursion with a 1000-foot elevation gain. Reservations are required and will be accepted on or after August 5 at 12:00 p.m. (Noon) and August 16 at 2:00 p.m.
