"Summer school" comes to an end Tuesday when we'll be forced to hike miles, and miles before we're allowed to have lunch. This time we'll be starting at the southern end of the Olema Valley and hiking north to Five Brooks. Here's Wendy's description of the hike and directions to the trailhead:Meet at Five Brooks and we’ll carpool to the bottom of the McCurdy trail near Dogtown. We’ll hike 5.5 miles back to Five Brooks on the Olema Valley trail. Mostly level, less than 500’ elevation gain. SHUTTLE HIKE, so please call or email if you want to do it. Bring a snack as lunch will be on the late side. We’ll head over to Bear Valley to enjoy our gourmet feast.
Meet at St. Rita’s at 8:50 to carpool.
As of Sunday evening, the National Weather Service forecast for Olema on Tuesday is for sunny skies with a high near 71 and northwest winds between 9 and 14 mph. (However, it looks like we're in an overall warming trend this week, so don't be surprised if the temperatures are a bit higher than predicted. As usual when heading toward the coast, bring a warm top and jacket in case the fog rolls in and stays in, but expect to sweat if it doesn't! Click here for an updated forecast).
Here's how the Martin's book, Hiking Marin, describes this hike:
