This hike is 300' up and 400' down each way on this out-and-back hike. There are loose rocks on Pine Mountain fire road so you might want to bring your poles.
The trail climbs a little over 300’ in the first mile to Oat Hill Road . This hike takes us through chaparral to the beautiful falls on Pine Mountain where we'll have lunch.
Directions:
As you enter Fairfax on Sir Francis Drake Boulevard jog left on Pacheco when you see the movie theater. Make an immediate right which puts you on Broadway which is the street that parallels Sir Francis Drake but is on the other side of the parkade. Make the first left onto Bolinas Ave. Follow the Bolinas-Fairfax Rd. for about 4 miles to a dirt parking lot on your left.
