Welcome to Wendy's Tuesday class for Winter 2019. The first hike is a loop on Mount Tamalpais.
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. About 700' change in elevation round trip."

Here's the hike's profile showing the elevation changes.
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 lots. Fee parking area is $8 for regular, $7 seniors. Bring exact change.

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. Restrooms at trailhead.
Carpoolers can meet at the Greenbrae Parking & Ride lot at 9:00 a.m. (Click here for a Google Maps map showing the parking lot on Drakes Landing Road; click on the teardrop icon to get driving time and directions from your location.)
