3rd Anniversary Woodward Fire Ecology Walk: Sky Trail

Point Reyes National Seashore Association

Fire Ecology Walk - Join PRNSA docents on an educational journey through parts of the park most impacted by the Woodward Fire.

Sky Trailhead Parking Lot

Three years ago, the Woodward Fire burned a large swath of popular hiking areas within Point Reyes National Seashore. Reflect on the anniversary of this event with a trained fire ecology docent, who will take you on a journey through parts of the park most affected by the fire. Get a look at residual burn presence in certain habitats, learn about the importance of fire regrowth, hear about the park's fire management efforts, and much more!The Sky Trail hike is an intermediate Fire Ecology hike —ideal for hikers who are looking for a short, heart-pumping hike, and who want to be immersed in the Woodward Fire burn area. The Sky Trail walk is expected to take 2.5 hours, cover 4.9 miles, and gain 683 feet of elevation. Although this hike’s terrain is primarily only slightly uphill and downhill, a steep 334 feet of elevation gain in the first 0.8 miles makes this a more challenging hike for those more interested in a more leisurely pace. This hike begins at the Sky Trailhead Parking Lot and travels along the Sky Trail, past the Sky Campground, and through the fire zone. If you are looking for an easier hike, consider the Bear Valley fire walk.Details:<ul><li>Please arrive 10-15 minutes early to check in</li><li>Due to the popularity of these events, registration is recommended online prior to the event.
