December Full Moon Hike

  • China Camp State Park Ranger Station 101 Peacock Gap Trail San Rafael, CA, 94901 United States (map)

We are excited to witness the rise of our last full moon of 2022. This full moon was dubbed the "Long-Night Moon" by the medieval Anglo-Saxons describing the shortened winter days and long nights. December's full moon has a high trajectory in the sky, which means that it will be above the horizon for longer than most full moons. 

We will ascend to China Camp’s optimal vista point for this special event. Dress for the crisp, cool, late-fall evening, wear sturdy shoes (the trails may be muddy), and pack flashlights loaded with fresh batteries. In the event of strong winds or rain, this hike may be cancelled. 

What to bring: Warm clothing, water, flashlight or headlamp with spare batteries. Be sure to wear appropriate shoes for hiking.
Note: Hike begins at 3:20 p.m. sharp, so don't be late or you'll miss the fun!

Free for FOCC members; $5 for non-members.
Space is limited; reservations required.
Cancellations notified via email.
