Bon Tempe - Lake Lagunitas Loop

This is one of the prettiest and most fun hikes of the year. Join Randy in Fairfax for an easy (<400ft elevation gain) 6-mile scenic hike along partly wooded trails circling both Bon Tempe and Lake Lagunitas. These partly shaded trails should provide a nice hike for a hot day. We will stop for lunch at the Lake Lagunitas picnic area after circling Bon Tempe. If you're not up for the whole 6-mile hike, you can cut it back to under 5 miles by skipping the shorter hike around Lake Lagunitas after lunch. Look in "Photos" section for Meeting Place location.

Hikers are encouraged to coordinate carpools using the MeetUp app. Friendly dogs on a leash are welcome on this hike. Restrooms are located at the hike starting point. There is an $8 parking fee. DON'T FORGET to stop at the park entrance ticket machines to purchase your parking receipt. It's a long drive back to the machines if you forget, and rangers like to ticket cars not displaying a parking receipt.

We will hike at an average to slower pace (25-30 mins per mile) so we can enjoy the experience while we get the heart pumping. Please update your RSVP if you cannot attend, so as many people as possible can enjoy this hike.
