    “Full moon lights all the groves and rocks and casts splendid masses of shade on meadow and wall.” – John Muir, Letters to a Friend: Written to Mrs. Ezra S. Carr

    Join National Park Service rangers for a full moon walk  on Mt. Wanda, part of the John Muir National Historic Site (NHS) in Martinez, CA. This free, two-hour program begins at 6:30 PM with a one-mile, moderately strenuous hike to watch the full moon rise over nearby Mt. Diablo.  

    Visitors should meet at the parking lot on the corner of Alhambra Avenue and Franklin Canyon Road, Martinez (at the Alhambra Ave. exit off Highway 4). Bring water, a flashlight, warm clothes, and binoculars, if you have them. Wear comfortable walking shoes, as the trail is steep. If it rains heavily, the walk will be canceled.

    Reservations are not required. Please call the John Muir NHS Visitor Center at (925) 228-8860   if you have questions. For more information, please visit the park website at www.nps.gov/jomu.
