Angel Island hike to the top/North Ridge & Sunset loop. 5.1 miles, 800 ft.

Hi Ladies,
Please read the details on this one because some pre-planning is required.

We'll meet at the Tiburon Ferry Terminal at 9:45am. The ferry to Angel Island departs at 10:00. Please arrive with your PRE-PURCHASED Round-Trip tickets from Tiburon to Angel Island ($18/adults & $16/seniors). You can purchase them here: https://angelislandferry.com/schedule. Please be sure to purchase the Sunday, September 14 at 10:00 am tickets.

We will take the Sunset and North Ridge Loop hike and include a hike to the top. It's said to be 5.1 miles and about 800 feet elevation gain. It's full exposure, so please bring sun protection. There is poison oak so dress accordingly. Wear layers, as it could also be cold or foggy. Please bring plenty of water and snacks if you need them. Weather permitting, we will have great views of the entire bay!

Please note I have not hiked on Angel Island before so this will be an adventure!

Restrooms: There are restrooms in Tiburon at the ferry terminal as well as right in Ayala Cove when you disembark from the ferry.

The plan is to take the 1:20 Ferry back from the Island to Tiburon. But for any reason we are too slow, we will have to take the next one at 2:20. The ride is only 15 minutes.

If there are enough people interested, we can have lunch at Sam's Anchor cafe (or elsewhere) when we get back to Tiburon.
