Hike with an Astronaut in Monterey, California

Step into an unforgettable adventure alongside former NASA astronaut James H. Newman, a veteran of four Space Shuttle missions and a true explorer of both Earth and beyond. This exclusive experience offers a guided hike with Dr. Newman, where science, storytelling, and scenic beauty come together in a one-of-a-kind outing.

Choose your adventure level, from easy to strenuous, and explore some of California's most breathtaking coastal and forested landscapes. Possible destinations include the stunning coastal trails of Point Lobos State Natural Reserve, the serene redwood groves and rolling hills of Garland Ranch Regional Park, or the cliffs and sweeping ocean views of Garrapata State Park.

As you hike, Dr. Newman will share incredible stories from his time at NASA, including his four Space Shuttle missions aboard Discovery, Endeavour, and Columbia. Over the course of his career, he spent more than 43 days in space and completed six spacewalks totaling over 43 hours, working on both the International Space Station and the Hubble Space Telescope. He has also operated the robotic arm in space and led key aspects of NASA's Human Space Flight Program in Russia.

Whether you are gazing out over the Pacific or walking among towering redwoods, you will gain a deeper appreciation for both our planet and the vast universe beyond it. This is more than a hike. It is a rare opportunity to learn from someone who has quite literally seen the world from a different perspective.
