LA & OCLB Chapters of the Great Outdoors presents
MOONLIGHT HIKE WITH DINNER & MUSIC
Mount Baldy Ski Resort
Elevation: 7,800’
Saturday, October 4, 2025, 4:30pm to 9:30pm
Round trip chairlift and buffet dinner: $50 per person
Parking: $5 per car
This Moonlight Hike takes place three days before the full moon. An early moonrise will provide dramatic illumination of the trails, peaks and canyons. Our hike takes place near the waxing of the Hunter's Moon, also the first supermoon of the year. The moon will appear slightly larger and brighter in the sky as it will be closer to Earth than usual.
We planned a complete evening with a buffet dinner, a live band, and a moonlight hike. After dinner and taking some time to enjoy the band, we will hike along the Devil’s Backbone Trail, perhaps two to three miles, going as far as time allows as we must be back for the last ski lift ride at 9:45pm down to our cars.
