Here's what Wendy promises us for our May 6th hike to Wolf Ridge from Rodeo Beach in the Fort Cronkhite area of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area:"Wildflowers and views! This is a wonderful wildflower hike with the native cobweb thistle, bee plant, fringe cups, and many more!". (As usual, Dick Jordan will post Wendy's "What We Saw" list after tomorrow's hike).
If you've mislaid the directions to the trailhead, here's how to get there:
From Highway 101 southbound, take the last exit before the Golden Gate Bridge. Turn right, go under the freeway and get in the left turn lane to go through the one way tunnel with the 5 minute traffic light. Follow the road down (it will go right at the end of the lagoon and then left, so the lagoon is on your left) and park at the end of the road. (The beach will be on the other side of the road). It is a 40 minute drive from the College of Marin. Restrooms are located in the parking lot.
The Martin's Hiking Marin trail guide includes the following hike and trail map for this area. Presumably we'll be following their route:
