Here's Wendy's description of this week's hikel: "Today we’ll hike down to Muir Woods
and learn how it became a National Monument. 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. There is an online album of photos from our past hikes here.)Note: Construction work on the road to Camp Alice Eastwood and at the camp may require us to take a "detour" on the way back, but we'll still do the 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: 50 minutes from College of Marin. Carpoolers can meet at the Greenbrae Park & Ride lot at 9:00 a.m. Outhouse at trailhead and restrooms at lunch.
Weather Forecast: As of Sunday, September 16, the National Weather Service forecast for the day of the hike was patchy fog before 11am. Otherwise, mostly sunny, with a high near 74. West wind 7 to 10 mph. (Click here for an updated forecast).
More On This Hike: Hike B6 – Muir Woods – TCC – Dipsea Trails and hike B7 – Panoramic – Lost – Sierra Trails in the Martin's book, Hiking Marin, shows the area where we'll be hiking, but our route will not cover all of the trails taken on either of those hikes
