Source: Marin County Parks
Wednesday, August 9, 2023, 10am – 2pm

The influence of summertime moisture keeps this area lush with year-round mosses and ferns. We’ll climb to the ridge through a shaded forest of Douglas-firs and then find a nice spot for lunch. At this time of year it could be warm or foggy near the coast. Total miles: 5. Elevation change: 900’. Remember to bring an extra layer, lunch, and binoculars if you have them. No pets (except service dogs) are allowed. Be sure to check the calendar two hours before the event to confirm the status. Adverse weather or poor air quality may cancel.
Registration is required.
Questions: Contact Shannon Burke at SBurke@marincounty.org.
