Here's how Wendy says we'll kick off the Fall 2008 "Meandering" hikes: "Today we explore the redwood habitat, visit the Pioneer Tree which is over 500 years old, and learn some history of the area at the mill site. We’ll also see one of Marin’s few 'ghost trees,' a white redwood. We’re doing two separate loops, so you can leave your lunch in the car."
Directions: Take Sir Francis Drake Blvd. to the main entrance of Samuel P. Taylor State Park. 35 minutes from COM. Restrooms at trailhead and at lunch.
Enjoy the cool weather today (Sunday). The National Weather Service is forecast more hot weather for Marin beginning on Monday (Labor Day) and continuing through Thursday. Tuesday's forecast for Forest Knolls, just east of the park, is sunny, with a high near 95, and west northwest wind between 5 and 11 mph. (Click here for a updated forecast). Hopefully, we'll have a lot of shade on these walks.
Martins' book, Hiking Marin, shows the hike to the Pioneer Tree and the trails on both sides of the park:
