Benstein and Cataract Loop Trail (3.4 mi): Jannock!

To the Falls of Cataract!

Into the wilds of Mt Tamalpais we'll trek, upon a 3.4 mile trail with various sunny and shady areas, playing games as we go. It has some moderate elevation change (607 ft, or 0.0021% of the distance from London to the Bay). We'll gather at the Rock Spring Trailhead at 12pm and head out starting at 12:30pm. Note : even though it says "Stinson Beach" on the map point, the trailhead is very close to Mill Valley.

After the hike, we will migrate to a nearby cafe to natter and xertz.

During the hike, we will intermittently pause to play games. At any time, anyone is welcome to propose a game and invite the group to play. Participation in any game is totally voluntary.

The word of the day is "jannock":
