The hike description is simple: "A mostly shady trail opens up to an incredible vista at a sunny (we hope!) lunch spot overlooking the ocean! We'll take Bootjack Trail to Van Wyk Meadow, TCC Trail to the Dipsea Trail, and the Old Mine Trail back."
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.
As you drive up the mountain, look for the Bootjack picnic area and parking lot ($8/car, if you don't have a state park pass) on your right.
If you get to Pantoll at the crest of Panoramic Highway, you've gone too far and need to turn around and drive back down the mountain. (Click here for a map of Mt. Tam that you can view and print out).
50 minutes from the College of Marin. Carpoolers can meet at the Greenbrae Park & Ride lot at 9:00 am. Restrooms at trailhead.
Weather forecast: As of Wednesday, January 23rd, the National Weather Service forecast was a slight chance of showers, but mostly sunny, with a high near 4. (Click here for an updated forecast.)
