Enjoy the trails under the full moon’s light! We will hike along the paved Hicks Haul Road, traveling up this road to our peek as we listen to the nocturnal sounds of the night. The hike will travel about 3 miles round trip at an easy pace along our steady incline with a medium level of interpretation.

This program is for participants who would enjoy a slower paced level hike and is ideal for older children and adults. Wear comfortable clothes and sturdy shoes, and bring water and a red tinted flashlight for the hike. Be ready to enjoy the night sounds and smells along with the full moon’s glow!

Join Preserve staff for a fun-filled parent & child experience that may include arts and crafts, storytelling, hands-on activities or outdoor nature walks.

Class fee is $5.00 per participating student. No Class March 7th. Please email unbic@ocparks.com to register or for more information.

Come and explore the entire Buck Gully Reserve trail system. Beginning from the Oasis Senior Center, we’ll hike up through the almost 3 mile length of the canyon, then along San Joaquin Hills Road for a bit, stopping at Canyon Watch Park where we will take in the panoramic view of the reserve and the Pacific coastline before descending back into the canyon along the Bobcat Trail. Please bring water, a light trail snack, sturdy closed-toe shoes and supplies to keep you safe during the journey. Sunscreen and a hat are highly recommended.

PLEASE NOTE: Poison oak grows in abundance throughout the entire Buck Gully Reserve trail system.
