Mt Umunhum (Sierra Azul open space preserve) is a sacred space for the Amah MutsuSaturdayn tribe of the Ohlon, and is one of the most historic sacred spaces in the Bay Area. We are meeting at the Ceremonial Space on the summit of the mountain.
-
People can either join us at the summit, or if they want to hike: Meet at 8am at the Bald Mountain parking lot and join TEE on a 3.7 mile, 1150 ft climb hike to the Umunhum Summit
- At the summit, 53 general parking spots are available (with about 100 stairs to climb after parking). There is very limited accessible parking closer to the summit, and a drop-off area. There is no entrance or parking fee.
- Dogs not allowed in the preserve (sorry)
- Bring water and a vegetarian snack for yourself
- Please either be vaccinated or wear a mask (or both)
- Clergy-led service
