Here's Wendy's description of this upcoming hike:
"Today we’ll hike down to Muir Woods and learn how it became a National Monument. I’ll point out the albino redwood tree most visitors pass by without noticing. Lunch at Camp Eastwood where you’ll hear the fascinating life story of intrepid botanist Alice Eastwood."
Directions: Take the Stinson Beach/Highway 1 exit off Highway 101. Go west through Tam Valley and up onto the ridge. Turn right onto Panoramic Highway and follow signs to Mt. Tamalpais. Drive about 4 miles. When you reach Mountain Home Inn on your right, park on your left in the parking lot across the road.
Time: 40 minutes from College of Marin. Outhouse at trailhead and restrooms at lunch.
Weather Forecast: As of Sunday morning, the National Weather Service forecast for the Mill Valley area on Tuesday was mostly sunny with a high near 74 and west wind between 6 and 9 mph. (Click here for an updated forecast).
