Description: We'll begin with a rather strenuous climb up from Stinson Beach on the Matt Davis trail, which, after a couple of miles of steady climbing along switchbacks, levels off and opens to nice views of the ocean. Lunch at Pantoll and return through beautiful redwood trees and falling water on the Steep Ravine trail. Our final leg back to Stinson Beach is along the relatively level Dipsea trail which features stunning coastal views.
Bring / Wear: Please bring water, lunch, layers in case of fog or wind, hat, sunscreen, sturdy hiking shoes, hiking poles if desired.
Weather Policy: Contact hike leader if weather is questionable.

At the corner past the stop sign in town, turn left for beach parking with the basketball court on your left. Follow that road to the end to the first parking lot.
