HIKES BETWEEN SPRING AND SUMMER SESSIONS

Wendy's Summer Schedule is as follows:

Monday, May 21, the Muddy Hollow Loop.  
     
Wendy says:
This is a lovely loop with views of Limantour Estero. We often see Tule Elk on this hike (sometimes even calves!), and there is a chance of the endangered Myrtle’s Silverspot butterfly. 

     Take Sir Francis Drake Blvd. west to Olema. Turn right on Rt.1, then make an immediate left onto Bear Valley Rd. Continue past Park Headquarters (turn in if you need a restroom) and go left on Limantour Rd. Turn right for the parking lot at Muddy Hollow. (Youth Hostel is to the left.) Carpool leaves St. Rita at 8:55. Note: this hike is longer than a usual meander, about 7 miles, so we could get back late. (Some years we've been on time and some years as much as an hour late.) 

Tuesday, May 22  Angel Island 

We'll take the 10 AM ferry over. Allow time to park and don't miss the boat! We'll go to the top of Mt. Livermore and take the 3:30 ferry which arrives back in Tiburon about 3:45. Angel Island is often good for butterflies like Anise Swallowtails, Western Tiger Swallowtails, California Sisters, and Pipevine Swallowtails. Bring $15.00 ($14 for seniors) in cash for ferry and park entrance. NOTE LATE ENDING TIME!
     
Restrooms at ferry in Tiburon and on Angel Island. Carpool from Greenbrae Park and Ride at 9:10.

Natalie will be in touch to see if people want to hike on May 29, June 4 and June 5.  Wendy will be getting ready for the safari.
