Details

We meet at Deer Park Parking Area & Trailhead. Parking is limited there , that's why I start this hike a little bit earlier. Carpool is highly recommended, feel free contact me , I may help to set carpool for you.
This hike will be combination of classic trails in Mount Tamalpais Watershed and some rare attended area.
60-70% of hike is exposed but temperatures must be mild ( not greater that 75F). Take Plenty of water if you don't want drink water from creeks and lakes.
Our route: Deer Park Fire Road Extension tr -> Sky ranch tr ( part of Bald Hill Open space) -> Worn's Spring fire road -> loop around Phoenix lake ( really scenic lake) -> Fish Gulch tr -> Fish Grade fire rd -> Bon Tempe lake ( our lunch spot) -> Pine Point tr ( along Bon Tempe lake) -> Shave grade road > Elliot tr -> Concrete Pipe rd -> Canyon tr -> Deer Park fire rd back to cars
Our pace: 2.5 -2.8 per mile. Hike's length and elevation gain is based on AllTrails route estimate. Real one can be longer 1-2 miles.
It is good to have >2.5L water, sturdy hiking shoes , layers clothes , and lunch food.
It is not good idea to join the hike if you don't plan to complete full route.
Contact me using private meetup messages or comments in case you have questions. I may help with carpool options.
Attendance limit - 12. I may add extra 4 hikers based on hiking points.
Hikers who cancel after RSVP closed will get 'NO SHOW', unless they provide reasonable excuse.
