Friday found us going north to Marin City to pick up LA's old friend AF. from there we went further north to Muir Woods National Monument for a day of hiking.
Our route in Muir Woods was a lot of fun, but tiring. We took the Hillside Trail to where it met Ben Johnson Trail and then Dipsea trail - basically this trail, only we did it counter-clockwise instead of clockwise. Basically seven Km around with a 1000 foot elevation change. not quite a scramble up, but there were numerous portions where the trail was sufficiently steep they had to put in stairs.
( Now for lots of nature photos... )
