Experience an unforgettable evening of nature, history, and stargazing with Hike & Sip, a program designed for adults 21 and over. Explore the majestic Redwood forest, guided by Chabot’s knowledgeable outdoor educators, and learn about the ecosystem, the cultural heritage of the Ohlone peoples, and Oakland’s rich history.

Enjoy a beautiful sunset hike with two options to suit your pace:

Immersive Trek: 5:00 PM, 4.25 miles, approximately 120 minutes.

Guided Stroll: 7:30 PM, 3 miles, approximately 90 minutes.

After your hike, unwind on Chabot’s Observation Deck with drinks and charcuterie. End the night with stargazing through telescopes (weather permitting) and star stories brought to life under the night skies.
