Join us for a sunset hike on the eve of the full moon as we take the less-crowded service road route up Cowles Mountain. This moderate, gradual ascent offers wide-open views of San Diego – the perfect vantage point to watch the sun dip below the horizon and the full moon begin to rise.

What to Expect:

• Pace: Leisurely to moderate, suitable for most fitness levels
• Distance: ~2.5 miles round trip
• Terrain: Dirt road, wide and stable

What to Bring:

• Headlamp or flashlight (red light mode recommended)
• Good hiking or trail shoes
• Layers – it cools down quickly after sunset
• Water (at least 1 liter per person)
• Optional: hiking poles, camera, small snack

Special Note:

• The full moon officially rises shortly after our hike ends – we’ll catch its early glow from the summit
• We’ll hike as a group; no one will be left behind in the dark
