Bird's Eye View of Our Steep Ravine/Dipsea Trail Hike

This Google Earth satellite photo shows the area we hiked in on Tuesday. The end of "Steep Ravine Canyon" appears on the ocean side of Highway 1. The forested area on the other side of the highway is where the Steep Ravine Trail runs up to Pantoll (which is the open area you'll find along a line between the "Wooded Knoll" and "Cardiac Hill" landmarks). The Dipsea Trail is the squiggly brown line that runs along the ridge top from "Cardiac Hill" towards the ocean. Panoramic Highway is the white squiggly line which can be seen climbing uphill from Stinson Beach into the forested area on its way toward Mill Valley.
