Bring a flashlight and your sense of wonder as you explore the park after dark. This hike heads up to the summit of Bald Mountain, where we will see the moon rise over the Mayacamas and the sun set over Sonoma Valley. Looking for something less intense? Find the hike along the Vista Trail here. This is a strenuous hike of approximately 6.5 miles with 1500+ of vertical and some steep sections (not recommended for children under 12). It leaves the White Barn parking lot at 4:45 pm. Tickets are $10 general or $5 for youth (12-17 year olds), students, Sugarloaf members, and Sugarloaf and RFO volunteers. All minors must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. You must have a ticket to attend. Be at the meeting location at least 10 minutes prior to the start of the hike for a prompt departure. Bring your flashlight, at least a quart of water, snacks, and extra layers for the evening. Parking fees apply.

Have you heard about “Shinrin-yoku” or “forest bathing”? Here is an opportunity to take a walk and experience the practice for yourself. Learn techniques to maximize the health benefits and stress reducing qualities of this walking practice. Shinrin-yoku originated in Japan and is gaining popularity in the United States for its documented health benefits. This practice takes a walk in the woods to another level. A centering and calming restorative practice, it promotes balance and restored vitality through a quality of presence and heightened sensory awareness. Sugarloaf Ridge State Park hosts a Forest Therapy Series as part of its Park Rx Program the 4th Sunday of the month (March through November) led by certified Association of Nature and Forest Therapy (ANFT) practitioners. We invite you to join us on this therapeutic experience of sights, sounds, scents, touch, and memory. The outing begins at the White Barn and meanders less than one mile from the start point in a reverie of introspection and connection to the natural world. Watch Sugarloaf Forest Therapy Video. Tickets are $20 or free with an April 2025 or newer Park Rx from a Sonoma County Medical Provider. Click here for Park Rx information. To sign up with a Park Rx, please email the signed Rx form to alma@sonomaecologycenter.org. Please have your Rx available at the time of sign-up, as the number of Park Rx tickets is limited and you will be asked to turn in a copy at the time of registration. Wear layers, comfortable footwear, bring water, sun protection, and if desired, a snack or a picnic to enjoy after the event. Parking fees apply. Heavy rains cancel.

How it works: Every half hour our Shuttle will leave from either North Sonoma Mountain Regional Park’s parking lot or Jack London State Historic Park’s upper parking lot or winery lot. Make a reservation and then ride to the other end of the trail, or hike and ride back. Riding first and hiking back to your car is the easiest way—no worries about how long you take to finish your hike. This 9-mile one-way hike should take 4 to 5 hours, including nearly 2,000 feet of elevation gain. Bring at least 64oz of water, sun protection, and if desired, a snack. Registration is required as there is only space for 6 riders at a time, but you can ride on a space-available basis as well. There is no charge for the ride; the $10 reservation fee is refunded on site the day of the event, unless you choose to donate it to keep this service running. Dogs and bikes are not allowed in the shuttle or on Jack London’s trails (the State Park portion of the hiking route). Parking fees apply. Shuttle also offered on Sunday, November 2
