Mount Tamalpais State Park (Matt Davis, Dipsea, Steep Ravine Trails: 7 miles)
Moss covered bay trees and boulders
line the Matt Davis Trail (site today of a 100k run!)
Waterfalls crossed the path in
many places, following late spring rains
The Matt Davis trail emerges
into a large meadow; the view here is to the south
Another view from the same spot,
looking west
The meadows were filled with
wildflowers
Beginning our descent to Stinson
Beach, with much of the path through fir forest
The dense canopy encourages the
growth of many ferns and moss on the trees
Forget-me-not line the path
The DipseaTrail provides good
views back to Stinson Beach
Sections of the Steep Ravine
Trail are steps carved from the rock
Thanks to late rains, the streams
are high and provide ample flow for many waterfalls
The Steep Ravine Trail winds
through mature redwood and bay trees
The walk today was made more
delightful by the constant sound of rushing water
Another waterfall
A ladder is necessary to get
over this massive boulder
