Marin Headlands Hike on July 20th; Sierra Buttes Camping Trip August 8th-10th
MARIN HEADLANDS HIKE SUNDAY, JULY 20TH
Join SAGA, SF Hiking and GLS _[Gay Lesbian Sierrans]_ for a scenic coastal hike in the Marin headlands, taken at a leisurely to moderate pace. Start at the Rodeo Lagoon and hike the Coastal-Wolf Ridge-Miwok trails. We’ll have a lunch stop at Hill 88 with its spectacular panoramic views. This is a moderate 5.5 mile loop with several hundred feet of elevation gain. This trail provides a little of everything the Golden Gate National Seashore has to offer: sweeping grand views of the Pacific, views of the City & Golden Gate Bridge, access to WWII coastal batteries, walking along a scenic lagoon and access to the Pacific Ocean/beach.
We will meet at the Safeway parking lot (under the big Safeway sign) at Market-Dolores in SF at 9:00 a.m. to carpool. _[We'll depart at 9:15 a.m. sharp.]_ Bring your own water, lunch, and a light snack.
_ [An alternate meeting location is at the trailhead parking lot by Rodeo Beach, at 9:45 a.m. Be sure to e-mail the event leader ahead of time at_ [LINK: mailto:headlandshike2008@saganorth.com] HEADLANDSHIKE2008@SAGANORTH.COM _AND LET HIM KNOW AND ALSO GET SPECIFIC DIRECTIONS, ETC.]_
