Hello everyone! The 2025 autumn equinox Golden Labyrinth Hike will take place Saturday, September 20th. Yes, it’s two days before the actual equinox, but who has time to go hiking on a Monday? This way we’re ensured an active nightlife downtown.

When to be:

  • Saturday, September 20, 2025
  • 6:00 pm: Meet at Five Suns Brewing in Martinez
  • 6:30 pm: Depart for Golden Labyrinth
  • 7:28 pm: Sunset and hike back to downtown

What to expect:

  • A moderately strenuous 1.7 mile hike uphill, 1.7 back down, making 3.4 miles total with a 750 foot elevation change.
  • There are no bathrooms once we leave downtown.
  • Good conversation, bad jokes, great views…and champagne!

What to wear:

  • Dress in layers. You will start out hot, then be very cold. Prepare for rain/sleet/hail except in summer.
  • Active footwear. Running/walking shoes are fine, though a hiking boot is ideal. It can be muddy in winter & spring, dusty in summer & fall.

Where to walk:

No problem if you’re a little late, just follow the route map and meet us at the top by sunset. Please share with whomever you think might want to join us.
