🥾 What hikers need to know:
- The temporary reroute is marked with white blazes, spaced approximately every 100 paces.
- Maps will be posted at trailheads to help hikers navigate the closure.
- The closed section will be marked with blue ribbon at Old 14 Road and the logging road junction.

Have you ever done a full moon hike! Very fun!! Here’s one of them that’s coming up. Remember to note if you go as an event for the mammoth hike challenge!!

Join the Lodi Valley Chapter of the Ice Age Trail Alliance on Saturday evening, October 24th, for a short hike under the glow of the full moon. October's full moon, often called the Hunter’s Moon because traditionally this was the time of year when people prepared for winter by hunting and preserving food. Lace up your hiking boots and head out on the trail as crisp autumn air, rustling leaves, and moonlight set the scene for a memorable fall evening. Come explore the trail after dark and experience the beauty of the season beneath the Hunter’s Moon.

Location details:
We will meet at the Ferry Landing Wayside.
Watch for the yellow Ice Age Trail Event signs.

Hiking distance – 2-3 mile out and back.

Wear appropriate clothing for the weather, sturdy shoes, and bring a light; a walking stick can also be helpful if conditions are slippery. Leashed, well-behaved dogs are welcome.
