Here's Wendy's description of this upcoming hike: "Today we’ll hike down to Muir Woods and learn how it became a National Monument. I’ll point out the albino redwood tree most visitors pass by without noticing. Lunch at Camp Eastwood where you’ll hear the fascinating life story of intrepid botanist Alice Eastwood." (Click here for a recap of our September 2008 hike).Directions to trailhead: 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. Drive about 4 miles. When you reach Mountain Home Inn on your right, park in the parking lot across the road on your left.
Time: 40 minutes from College of Marin. Carpoolers can meet at the Greenbrae Park & Ride lot between 9:00-9:15 a.m. Outhouse at trailhead and restrooms at lunch.
