Please arrive by 4:15pm for a prompt 4:30pm departure. As we will need to make it up to the Pinnacle by sunset, the group will leave on time. Please plan accordingly.

Come and watch the full moon rise from the Pinnacle! September's Full Moon, the Full Corn Moon, is named because this is when crops are gathered at the end of the Summer season.

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. Sunset is at 7:26pm and moonrise is at 7:28pm.

This is not a beginner's hike due to the ~1200' ascent, rocky terrain and nighttime conditions. Sturdy hiking boots are recommended. Bring a headlamp or flashlight, at least 2 liters of water and food/snacks. Also bring extra layers for when we are sitting at the Pinnacle waiting for the full moon to rise. Rain or cloudy conditions may cancel.
