Sunset/Full moon hike at Marin Headlands

Sunset/Full moon hike at Marin Headlands

Thu, Jul 30, 2:00 AM
From SFBayCafe - Camping/Hiking
4.8

Hi all, Here's a last minute short hike to enjoy the sunset and the full moon rise. Sunset is at 8:21 pm and the moon rise is at 8:43 pm. So we can see the moonrise from the slacker hill if the weather cooperates...sometimes, there is fog, but the slacker hill can be above the fog making it even more beautiful. This will be about 4.5 mile [round trip] hike starting from the 'Gerbode valley trailhead' parking lot along the bunker road. We watch the full moon coming up from behind the east bay hills from the dinner spot and later walk back under the bright moonlight. The hike is a gradual climb [with last half mile steep] to the dinner spot. *** *Recommended things to bring*: * Jacket/blanket/sleeping bag/wine......anything to keep you warm and cozy. * Bring food/snack to share if you like ;) * The dinner spot is not paved, so a blanket or a tarp is recommended if you have one. I'll bring a big tarp to sit on and put food on. * Bring your headlamp/flashlight, so you don't trip and fall, though the path is mostly a wide fire road. So should be ok to walk in the dark especially under the moonlight. *** **DIRECTIONS**: We'll meet at the parking lot at 7:00pm [There is a restroom at the parking lot]. * From SF, cross the Golden Gate Bridge and exit at Alexander (the first exit past the view point turnoff). Keep right at the first fork. * After about 0.3 mile, turn left onto Bunker Road [watch for the brown park signs. There is a one-way tunnel which cuts under 101, and you may need to wait up to 5 minutes for your turn to travel through it. * From the other side of the tunnel, keep driving until you see the 'Gerbode valley trailhead parking lot' sign on the right [after you pass the horse stables on the left]. Turn right into that parking lot. GPS coordinates for the parking lot: N37.832995 W122.517274 Google map: https://maps.app.goo.gl/4CMjvgGbiCCHyviaA *** According to the park service trail map, dogs are not allowed on the final stretch of the trail to the slacker hill :( We should be back to the parking lot around 10:00 to 10:30pm [you can get back earlier if you like]. See u soon! :) Disclaimer: Its your own responsibility to look after yourself on the hike if u decide to join us. You assume all the risks including sharing my dinner :)

Frequently asked questions

Meetup helps people discover and attend local group events based on shared interests, from outdoor adventures to tech meetups.

Search on Meetup for car camping or related groups in San Francisco to find upcoming trips and gatherings held by community members.

Yes, check Meetup's event listings to find car camping activities in San Francisco happening this week. RSVP to secure your spot.

Absolutely! Join as many Meetup groups as you like, including various car camping groups, to explore different experiences.

To RSVP, visit the event page on Meetup. Click the 'RSVP' button to confirm your participation in the car camping event.

Most groups on Meetup are free to join, though some events may require a fee. Check details on each group's page for cost information.

Car camping meetups offer a great way to meet new people, share resources, and explore nature around the San Francisco area collectively.

Event quality can differ; it depends on each group's organizer. Attend a few events to see which group suits your style.

No, individual groups and members, not Meetup itself, organize events like car camping trips. Meetup provides the platform to connect.

While many car camping events are outdoors, some may have indoor components. Check the event details for the location specifics.

Meetup offers various outings, but group availability may fluctuate. Keep searching if you don't find a fit immediately.

While Meetup fosters connection, it can't assure instant friendships. Actively participate to increase your chances of finding your crowd.

Meetup is designed for group activities rather than individual connections, so 1-on-1 camping plans aren't the main focus.

Meetup doesn't cover travel expenses. Consider carpooling with group members to reduce costs on camping trips.

Bring essentials like food, water, sleeping gear, and any specific equipment listed in the event description. Check details for special items.
