July 4th Fireworks Hike at Sugarloaf

Celebrate Sugarloaf's 50th, as we climb the tallest mountain in Sonoma Valley--Bald Mountain--for a spectacular evening vantage point. This strenuous hike covers 6.5 miles with 1500 ft. elevation gain--including some steep sections.

Upon arrival at the top, you'll enjoy a sumptuous mountaintop reception. We'll serve hearty snacks and sweets, lemonade, libation, and water. Kick back, relax, and enjoy the sunset and then beautiful sights of fireworks display that span the Bay Area--from Windsor in the north, Berkeley, and Oakland in the east, San Francisco to the south, with possible views of the south bay.

Space is limited for this annual Bill & Dave Hikes and Team Sugarloaf fundraiser, and we expect to sell out. Reserve your space now!

Price per ticket is $50, and 100% of proceeds support Team Sugarloaf's operations of Sugarloaf Ridge State Park.

Kids 12-17 are $10. Not recommended for children under 12.

The hike is approximately 6.5 miles round trip. Expect at least 1.5 hours hiking time each way.
