Third Spirit Walk at Sugarloaf State Park

Third Spirit Walk on 12-15


The next hike will be held on Saturday Dec. 15th at Sugarloaf State Park in Sonoma Valley, near Kenwood, beginning at 10 am. The hikers will meet in the main parking lot just beyond the entrance to the park. The route will follow the Lower Bald Mountain Trail up to the Bald Mountain Fire Road, which it will follow briefly. The hikers will then turn onto the Vista Trail and follow it two-thirds of a mile to the Headwaters Trail, following the latter a short distance to a majestic Western Maple. Returning to the Vista Trail the hikers will continue on, descend to the valley floor, and then follow the Meadow Trail back to the parking lot. The entire hike is about 4.5 miles and will take approximately 2 ½ to 3 hours.

Hikers are advised to bring appropriate, layered clothing, sturdy boots, water and a lunch. Heavy rain will cancel a hike, which will be rescheduled. Each hike is limited to 25 participants and will be by reservation only. The hikes are free. However, following each hike, participants will have the opportunity to make a donation to a local land conservation organization.

“Each hike has a gift to offer,” Hacker said of the planned Spirit Walks. “I want to share them now with people who will enjoy taking some time apart from their busy lives to experience the peace and harmony of nature.”
