ORANGE COUNTY -- at Agua Chinon and Hicks Haul Road are produced by OC Parks

3. Bike: Full Moon Ride Bakersfield -- The Full Moon Ride is Bike Bakersfield's most successful organized group ride. It is a social, slow paced ride which averages 10 to 12 miles per hour. We meet at Beach Park at the entrance to the Kern River Parkway (the bike path). A group ride from Beach Park to the Marketplace at a pace of around 10-12 miles per hour is organized and kept together as much as possible. Once at the Marketplace, riders enjoy the fountain and various shops, then head home or back to the park in smaller, unsupported groups. Lights and reflectors for all, and helmets for those under 18 are required by the California Vehicle Code. bikebakersfield.org/events/fullmoon.html

6. Kayaking: One of the most prevalent and popular full moon activities, anywhere you find kayaks you're likely to find full moon cruises. Morro Bay Full Moon Paddle (centralcoastoutdoors.com) features a magical blend of moonlight, peaceful water and sea kayaking on Morro Bay. Leaving before dusk in sea kayaks, explore hidden corners of Morro Bay. After the sun sets, the full moon illuminates the sights of the bay at night. You won't believe how much bird and wildlife activity there is out there in the evening until you experience it for yourself. A mug of hot chocolate (fortified with Schnapps, if desired) and cookies rounds out this truly unique Morro Bay kayak adventure. Cal Berkeley Full Moon Paddle - recsports.berkeley.edu

7. Pier Walk: Full Moon Pier Walks only work well in places where the overhead, artificial lighting is dim -to- non-existent. La Jolla's Scripps Pier is such a place not typically open to the public.

8. Observatory watch: Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles (griffithobs.org) and Chabot Space & Science Center (chabotspace.org) in Oakland both publicize full moon schedules

9. Snowshoe Walks: Yosemite National Park - yosemitepark.com, and Lassen Volcanic National Park (nps.gov), as well as Sequoia-Kings Canyon National Park (nps.gov) have snowshoe walks when the weather cooperates, providing enough snow to snowshoe

10. Harvest watch: Look for favorite winery calendar listings to see when they're open and you can watch the harvest process.
