Samuel P. Taylor State Park (9/29) Hike Preview

Bill’s Trail (which was being re-constructed last Fall) still hasn’t been re-opened, so rather than do our usual loop up Devil’s Gulch toward Mount Barnabe, we’ll do a different hike that has one steep downhill section, so bring poles if you use them.

Directions to trailhead: Take Sir Francis Drake Boulevard to the main entrance of Samuel P. Taylor State Park.

Parking fee: $8 unless you have a State Park Pass (or a day pass from the California State Parks Foundation).

35 minutes from College of Marin. Carpoolers can meet at St. Rita’s at 9:20 a.m.
