On Thursday evening, June 24, from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m., I’ll lead a June Full Moon Sunset Nature Hike above the Ojai Valley where we can watch the sunset followed by the moonrise. We’ll gradually hike about 1.25 miles each way to a vista point with some elevation gain on a well-worn, dirt fire road with some uneven footing in places. Before sunset, we’ll stop along the way to meet some valuable edible and medicinal plants, possibly including:
Blue Elderberry
Black Walnut
Toyon
Black & Purple Sage
Coastal Sagebrush
Prickly-Pear
After witnessing the sunset and moonrise, we’ll walk back to the trailhead by remaining daylight, moonlight, and flashlight, returning to the trailhead at about 9:30 p.m.
If things go according to plan at the state level, California’s economy will fully reopen on June 15. That will allow us to walk without masks and distancing. If not we will continue the COVID Prevention Plan I have had in place for the past year (attendance would be limited to 12 participants, temperatures would be checked on arrival, face coverings would be required, and we would maintain 6 feet of physical distance at all times).
Rain or chance of thunderstorms will cancel the hike. No dogs or smoking, please.
