We’ll start the morning with a slow ascent from the valley floor to San Geronimo Ridge. It’s a sustained climb (elevation gain 1,000 ft), but once we reach the top we will enjoy amazing views and the pygmy sargent cypress forest that makes this preserve so unique. For lunch we’ll drop down to a shaded clearing among towering Redwoods and Douglas-firs. (8 miles round trip.) This walk is for ages 15 and up. We request that no animals (except service animals) attend. High fire danger may cancel: Call (415) 893-9527 after 7am on the morning of the event to hear a recorded message if cancelled. David Herlocker will lead. Questions: Contact David at (415) 893-9508 or DHerlocker@marincounty.org. Meet at the gate on Redwood Canyon Dr in San Geronimo. DIRECTIONS: From Hwy 101 in Larkspur, take exit 450B for Sir Francis Drake Blvd west 7.7 miles. Turn left onto Railroad Ave, sharp right onto San Geronimo Valley Dr, and take the second left onto Redwood Canyon Dr. The gate is immediately on the right.
