This Sunset @ Alamere Falls adventure is a classic for a reason. We’ll hike out in the afternoon, arrive in time to enjoy the falls and the beach as the sun drops, and then make our way back together under changing light.

It’s one of those experiences that slows everything down, in the best way.

No workouts planned… yet. 😉
Just movement, nature, community… and a little night hiking.

Event Overview

Alamere Falls is one of the few tidefalls in the United States, where fresh water pours directly onto the beach and into the ocean. The trail winds through coastal forest, open ridge lines, and rolling terrain before opening up to the Pacific.

We’ll hike out together at a relaxed pace, spend time at the falls and beach, and begin the return hike as daylight fades. The group will stay together on the way back, keeping safety and awareness front of mind.

What to Bring

Because this is a sunset-to-dark hike, preparation matters. Please bring:

  • Comfortable hiking or trail shoes

  • Water (at least 2 liters recommended)

  • Snacks or a light trail meal

  • Headlamp or flashlight (required)

  • Extra batteries or a fully charged device

  • Light layers (coastal weather cools quickly after sunset)

  • Sun protection for the hike out (hat, sunscreen)

  • Personal first-aid or blister care

  • A small backpack to keep hands free

Good to Know

  • Dogs are not permitted on this trail

  • Beach access may involve sand, uneven footing, and wet conditions

  • Visibility will decrease on the return hike — staying together is important

  • Trail etiquette and situational awareness matter even more after dark
