Distance: 4 miles/ 150 ft elevation gain, easy / moderate pace

Trails: Stage Coach fire road (unpaved). It is suitable for low light and light rain.

Headlamp/flashlight highly recommended

Meeting place: Pantoll by the Friends of Mt. Tam trailer. There is a $8 parking fee at Pantoll. Pay with exact change or using QR code.

We’ll leave Pantoll promptly at 7:30PM to observe an unusual situation: the Sun will set at 8:25PM and the Moon will rise at the same time. Under twilight, we will take the Old Stage fire road to West Point Inn. We’ll arrive just in time to admire a near Full Moon on a backdrop of city and East Bay lights(weather permitting). We will return in the dark the same way via the Old Stage fire road.
