The Sacramento County Hikers tackled a terrific but brutal 6.5 mile hike in Marin County. Rich Blackmarr, our hike leader, selected a big loop ascending the Matt Davis Trail beginning in the fabled bohemian town of Stinson Beach and descending Mt. Tam on the Willow Camp Trail.
The hike is rated very strenuous with approximately 1,800' of elevation gain and loss. The ascent switchbacks up Mt. Tam and the descent drops precipitously with sections of the trail consisting of little ball-bearing pebbles creating treacherous footing.
Coastal fog obscured great ocean views on the ascent but broke up on the descent. In spite of the challenging hike, everyone had terrific time and celebrated our accomplishment at a local ice cream shop in Stinson Beach.
