The Sonoma Overlook Trail Stewards have posted photographs of the American Conservation Experience team working on the trail. You can read the full update and see the progress photos on their website, overlookmontini.org.
The extensive rehabilitation project to make a more sustainable Sonoma Overlook Trail began June 17, 2018, during which time the trail will be closed to the public until fall 2018. See a map of the closure area and a detailed trail map of the neighboring Montini Preserve hiking trails.
