Hike to the Pulpit and Pinnacle under the Full Cold Moon (9 miles)Let's watch the Full Cold Moon rise from the Pinnacle!
Please arrive by 12:45pm for a prompt 1:00pm departure.
Come and watch the Full Cold Moon rise from the Pinnacle. This is a 9 mile loop hike, starting at the Hamburg Reservoir parking lot and then going up to the Pulpit and Pinnacle for spectacular views of the rising full moon. Moonrise is at 4:09 pm and sunset is at 4:44 pm. This is not a beginner's hike due to the ~1000' ascent, rocky terrain and nighttime conditions. Sturdy hiking boots and trekking poles are recommended. Bring a headlamp or flashlight, at least 2 liters of water and food/snacks. Extra layers are recommended as we will be waiting at the Pinnacle for the full moon to rise. Rain or cloudy conditions may cancel.
