About
We'll hike the Lawson Trail which climbs from riparian creek habitat, through oak, chaparral and Sargent cypress woodlands, and winds west across prominent ridge lines with scenic vistas of Sonoma Valley and Napa Hills, nearly 1,935-feet above the valley floor. Most appropriate for hikers with at least a moderate level of fitness. Give yourself enough time to arrive, pay park fee and use restroom. It often takes longer than you think.

Waitlist Policy
Be aware that there may be a waitlist. If your plans change and you will not be attending, opening up a spot 2-3 days before the hike makes it more likely someone will be able to attend than if you cancel at the last minute (aside from an illness). If you're on the waitlist and your plans change it's your responsibility to cancel your rsvp or you may end up on the attend list. You're considered a "no-show" if you don't cancel and don't show up to the event. Members with 3 no-shows will be removed from the group.
Hike may be changed, rescheduled or cancelled in case of excessive heat, rain, smoke/AQI, illness, zombie apocalypse etc... Check your email 24 hours before the event for any possible changes.
