CANCELLED - Carson Falls
This hike begins with a slow climb up the Pine Mountain Fire Road through the beautiful serpentine chaparral. From the ridge, we'll descend through a shaded forest lush with ferns, milkmaids, and, if we're lucky, blooming fetid adder's tongue. Then we'll have lunch beside the waterfall, which is one of the few remaining breeding sites in Marin for the rare foothill yellow-legged frog. The trail is rocky, and there are several hills along the way. Total distance: 4 miles; elevation change: 450 feet.
Due to the Omicron variant’s high infectivity rate, in situations where you cannot maintain social distance, we recommend that all participants wear a mask. Enhanced face coverings are strongly encouraged (e.g., KN95, N95, respirator masks, or double masks).
Remember to bring a lunch and binoculars if you have them. We request that no pets (except service animals) attend. Adverse weather may cancel. Check the calendar or call (415) 473-6086 after 8 am on the morning of the event to hear a recorded message if canceled.
Registration is not required. For more information contact, Shannon Burke at SBurke@marincounty.org.
