Celebrate summer as we trek to a stunning vista point to watch the full Strawberry Moon rise over the bay. Named for the time of year when strawberries ripen, this glowing full moon will rise over the East Bay hills and cast its light over San Pablo Bay. We’ll share info about late spring wildflowers, local legends, and astronomy, and catch the sounds of crickets, frogs, owls, and maybe a coyote. This moderate evening hike is perfect for nature lovers and adventure-seekers alike.
