This week we'll take a different route from a familiar trailhead to make a 4.6 mile loop. We can expect butterflies including Painted Ladies, Mylitta Crescents, Common Buckeyes, Wood Nymphs, Acmon Blues and Red Admirals. We'll get our exercise on the uphill before lunch and then stroll downhill to complete the loop. Natalie will be leading this hike. Please bring $20.
Directions: Take Sir Francis Drake Boulevard west to Olema. Turn right on Route 1, then make an immediate left onto Bear Valley Road.
Continue past Park Headquarters (turn in if you need a restroom; there are none at the trailhead) and go left on Limantour Road. Turn left at the sign for the youth hostel. Follow that road until you see a right turn across a bridge to the Laguna Trailhead by the Clem Miller Education Center. Park in the parking lot.

More on this hike: Hike "G5 Bayview - Muddy Hollow - Laguna" in the Martin's book, Hiking Marin, shows the route we'll take. (Point 1 on their map shows where you'll leave your car to cut 0.5 miles off the hike. Point 2 is where we'll leave the other cars and actually begin hiking.)
