Sky Oaks to Deer Park Final Exam Hike (Jan 26) Preview

Downhill and level! Maybe we’ll see the first milkmaids of the season!

Remember to bring plate, utensils, cups, and a delicious dish to share at the post-hike luncheon.

Directions to trailhead:  Meet at Deer Park to carpool. Take Bolinas Avenue in Fairfax, turn left on Porteous. (If you see Deer Park Villa you’ve gone a bit too far, turn around.) Go to the parking lot at the end. Drivers leave food in cars at Deer Park.

Restrooms at Deer Park and portable at Sky Oaks, and porta potty en route. Carpool from St. Rita Church in Fairfax at 9:25 a.m

Weather forecast:  As of Friday, January 22, the National Weather Service forecast for the hike was mostly cloudy, rain likely, with a high near 54.  (Click here for an updated forecast).

More on this hike:  The Martins' book, Hiking Marin, does not have a hike that matches this one.  But their hikes "C 12 Taylor-Concrete Pipe-Bullfrog FR" and "C7 Deer Park FR-Canyon-Six Points" shows the the general area where we will be hiking as does the MMWD watershed map.
