This week's hike description is simple: "A mostly shady trail opens up to an incredible vista at a sunny (we hope!) lunch spot overlooking the ocean!"
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. As you drive up the mountain, look for the Bootjack picnic area and parking lot ($6/car) on your right about 2.5 miles after you cross the state park boundary --- if you get to Pantoll at the crest of Panoramic Highway, you've gone too far and need to turn around and drive back down the mountain. (Click here for a map of Mt. Tam that you can view and print out). 50 minutes from COM. Restrooms at trailhead.
Weather forecast: As of Sunday morning, the National Weather Service forecast for Mill Valley on Tuesday was sunny with a high near 80 and west northwest wind around 6 mph. (Click here for an updated forecast).
