Due to the coronavirus/COVID-19 situation, we have cancelled this event in the interest of health and safety with the hope that we can reschedule it for later this year.


Enjoy panoramic views of the bay and ocean as we hike along the trails of Mt. Tamalpais. The distance is 10-11 miles with an elevation gain of 1,200 feet. Expect the pace to be at a moderate speed. Hiking poles may be useful on the uphill stretches. After the hike, there will be an optional dinner/beer stop at the Marin Brewing Company at Larkspur Landing.

Meet us at 9:30 AM for sign-in and briefing at the Rock Spring Trailhead on Mt. Tamalpais. Led by chapter steering committee member, Dick Duker. Cancelled by rain; call at (510) 526-5530 if the weather is in doubt. If lost getting to the hike, call Dick’s cell phone at (510) 705-2447. We expect to be back at the trailhead by 4:30 PM.
