💚Green Exercise 7 miles Hike 🥾 Rodeo Beach🏖️ Coastal Trail to Hill 88

Hello Ocean Lovers, Let's meet up go for a Green Exercise Wellness Hike at Rodeo Beach, Coastal Trail, and Miwok Trail enjoy Ocean air and Healing Sea for our physical Health and Mental Well-being😇

The Rodeo Beach, Coastal Trail, and Miwok Trail loop leaves near Rodeo Beach and follows a fairly developed route along the bluffs above the Pacific Ocean. It takes a couple small detours to Battery Townsley and to Hill 88, the former launch site for Cold War missiles, then returns to the parking area just past the Marin Headlands Visitor Center on Mitchell Road (Bunker Road). It briefly travels along Wolf Ridge Trail on the north side just after Hill 88

Hike to the top of this abandoned military base for views of the coastline and rolling hills.

Hill 88
This is one of the more scenic hikes in the Marin Headlands. It features an old paved road with some great ocean views and some old coastal defenses.

Hill 88 played an important role during the Cold War. It served as a radar station for the Nike missile launch area SF-88L. This meant that all of the radar equipment associated with SF-88L was housed on top of Hill 88, which was called the Integrated Fire Control (IFC) site at the time. There were large domes that sheltered various radar equipment, including a HIPAR (High Power Acquisition Radar), TTR (target-tracking radar), TRR (target-ranging radar) and MTR (missile-tracking radars). In other words, IFC crewmen used radar to detect incoming threats from this site. In the event of a Nike missile launch, they would have also steered and tracked the deployed missile from Hill 88. They operated out of mobile vans that were once parked on top of Hill 88, but have since been moved to the launch area. Today, you can view the radar equipment at the Nike Missile Site. Otherwise, hike to the top of Hill 88 to see the remnants of the buildings that once constituted the IFC area and contemplate the significant role the Nike program played in our society and history.

Enjoy beautiful views of the ocean and surrounding landscape, including Tennessee Valley, Rodeo Lagoon, and Rodeo Beach. Although steep with some stairs, this hike is worth the effort.
