Per Wendy, "this loop [around Tennessee Valley] features panoramic views of the ocean and Muir Beach. We may see hawks like the Northern harrier, brush rabbits, and even a coyote. REMEMBER TO BRING PLATE, UTENSILS, AND SOMETHING TO SHARE FOR THE GOURMET FINAL EXAM! (Let’s think green and try to cut down on paper and plastic throw-aways as much as possible). We’ll leave the food in the cars and eat when we get back but bring your water bottle."Directions: Take the Stinson Beach exit from Highway 101. Follow signs to Stinson Beach and Muir Woods, then turn left on Tennessee Valley Road and take it to the parking lot at the end.
Time: 40 minutes from College of Marin. Portable toilets at the trailhead.
Weather forecast: As of 2:48 pm on Sunday, the National Weather Service for Sausalito on Tuesday is sunny with a high near 72 and calm wind. Usually there is little or no fog near the coast this time of year, but it did hang in there last Tuesday when we hiking on Mt. Tam, so Tennessee Valley could be socked in during the morning.
