Hosted by Marin Water

Join Marin Water Senior Park Ranger, Matt Cerkel, for a historical hike to the PBM-5 Mariner Crash site on Mt. Tam. Learn about the accident, the men who lost their lives, and MMWD’s history of preserving and protecting the Mt. Tam watershed for over 100 years. We will hike the Gravity Car Grade and Vic Haun Trail to the crash site (about two miles each way). This hike is moderately difficult with one steep section on the Vic Haun Trail.
