"We loved how green this was in the summer and there will be new things to see doing this as a winter hike. We’ll look for mushrooms and early wildflowers. Waterproof your hiking boots for the soggy sections! Slightly longer than usual at 5.3 miles, but lots of downhill. (Click here for a recap of our August 12th hike).Directions to meeting place: We’ll meet on Route One at the bottom of Randall Trail which is about 3 miles north of Dogtown and about 3 miles south of Five Brooks at 9:20 am. Then we’ll carpool up the Bolinas-Fairfax Road to Ridgecrest Boulevard, hike along Bolinas Ridge Fire Road. and come down Randall Trail.
We’ll need some people who can go back to Fairfax via the Fairfax-Bolinas Road to drop people at their cars.
Weather forecast: The National Weather Service forecast for Tuesday at Olema is sunny, with a high near 64. (Click here for an updated forecast).
None of Dick Jordan's hiking books describe this hike, but you can find the Fairfax-Bolinas Road, Bolinas Ridge Fireroad, and the Randall Trail in the bottom right-hand section of the park map shown below in this post on the "Meandering" blog.
