Family Friendly Morning Hike

Paddleboarding/Kayaking in San Rafael.

Headlands Loop, Bobcat to Miwok from Gerbode Lot. 6 miles/1000 ft.

Please join me for a beautiful Headlands loop staring from Gerbode Valley Trailhead parking lot. It has beautiful views. We'll start at Gerbode Valley Trailhead parking lot, which is about 1.6 miles past the Baker-Barry Tunnel on the right hand side. Look for the sign on the right hand side of Bunker Rd that reads "Gerbode Valley Trailhead" (with a right arrow). Turn in there. **Don't use Apple Maps because it takes you to the wrong place.** Google maps gets you to the correct place for this one. Parking is free. We'll meet near the bathroom. We'll hike up Bobcat Trail and down the Miwok Traill. It will be about 6 miles and 1000 feet elevation gain. It's full exposure but could be foggy or windy, with little shade and there is some loose gravel. So you might benefit from bringing poles and using sunscreen. Bring water, snacks if you need them, and good hiking shoes/boots. Please note that the wait time to go through the tunnel can be up to 5 minutes. Please allow extra time. Members really appreciate starting on time and frown at late comers!! **Please have "boots on" and be ready to hike at 9:30.** **IMPORTANT:** For the safety and well-being of the group, please take into consideration the distance/elevation gain-loss and your own fitness level when signing up for a hike. As the group leader, I organize hikes but please note that I take no responsibility for your safety. If signing up for a hike, please agree that you are responsible for your own well-being.

Bayview Hill and Candlestick Point

In January we had a wonderful sunny winter afternoon exploring Candlestick Point in the south east of the city; thanks to an initial suggestion from a regular, we have climbed Bayview Hill three times over the years now. As we were in the area on January, I pondered combining the two features, and that is what we will do on the 24th. Starting from Visitacion Valley we will explore the Greenway, climb the hill, enjoy the views, and then follow the water's edge on the way around the Point. There is some gentle climbing to get us going and one steep climb to get up the hill, plus some dirt as we go around the park. *Bringing water, snacks, and layers for all the microclimates is the way to go.* *These roams are offered by donation. They are one way I am able to pay my rent in San Francisco.* *Punctuality is always appreciated, for the sake of everybody's time. Please send a message on the app before the start if you are running late, and we will either wait (up to ten minutes) of I will direct you on how to catch up. Once we get underway I have to focus on those who are there, and most likely won't respond.* *Generally half the people who sign up don't actually show up on the day. I do track flakiness and remove people who have a poor attendance record. It is discourteous to those on the waitlist who would like to attend.* *Sending me a message explaining that you can't make it is always appreciated.*
