On Tuesday evening, May 25, from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m., I’ll lead a May Supermoon Sunset Nature Hike above the Ojai Valley where we can watch the simultaneous moonrise and sunset. Technically, the moon will reach complete fullness at 4:13 a.m. on Wednesday morning, making Tuesday night the best time to see it.

We’ll meet at the Shelf Road trailhead at the top of N. Signal Street at 5:45 p.m. Then 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. We’ll stop along the way to meet some valuable edible and medicinal plants, possibly including:

Blue Elderberry
Horehound
Black & Purple Sage
Coastal Sagebrush
Prickly-Pear

After witnessing the moonrise and sunset, we’ll walk back to the trailhead by remaining daylight, moonlight, and flashlight, returning to the trailhead at about 8:30 p.m.

To prevent possible transmission of the COVID-19 virus, attendance will be limited to 12 participants. Temperatures will be checked on arrival, face coverings will be required, and we will maintain 6 feet of physical distance at all times. Anyone with COVID-19 symptoms or a positive diagnosis is asked to stay home and a refund will be issued.

Rain or chance of thunderstorms will cancel the hike. No dogs or smoking, please.

Paid reservations are refundable up to 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, may 22. After that, if I receive your cancellation with enough time to fill your space and I’m able to do so, you will receive a refund.

Paid registrants will receive a confirmation email prior to the hike with all necessary info, including weather forecast and parking directions.  They will also receive a follow-up email afterwards with a list of all plants and wildlife seen and other notes.
