Join Ken Himes and Dee Wong for a fairly long and rough loop hike through Douglas-fir woodland with calypso orchids, and through serpentine substrates with Sargent cypress and the endemic Mt. Tamalpais manzanita.
Wear sturdy hiking boots with ankle support for rough trails, about 4 miles in length, with gradual elevation gain/loss of 500 feet. Bring snacks, lunch, and water.
Directions: Take Hwy. 101 north to the Hwy. 1/Stinson Beach turn-off and follow the signs to Mt Tamalpais. 1.4 miles past Pantoll Campground, take the right branching road on to Pantoll Rd. until you intersect Ridgecrest Dr. Cross Ridgecrest into the Rock Springs Parking Area. We’ll meet at 10am sharp at Rock Springs trailhead.
Travel time/distance to the parking area is about 30 min./10 mi. from the Hwy. 1/Stinson Beach turn-off onto Hwy. 1. Allow addition travel time through San Francisco. For more information, email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
