Monday, November 24, 2025, 10am – 2pm
Tucked in a canyon of San Geronimo Valley, this lovely trail follows a shaded creek lined with the golden leaves of big-leaf maples this time of year. We'll explore the lush understory, keep an eye out for birds, see if we can pick out California nutmeg among the other conifers, and try to find a sunny spot for lunch. Dress warmly as it can be surprisingly cold in this shaded gulch. Total miles: 2.5 miles. There is little elevation change but the trail is narrow and uneven in places. This walk is offered in partnership with State Parks. Remember to bring lunch, warm layers, and binoculars if you have them. No pets are allowed, except for service/companion animals. Adverse weather or poor air quality may cancel. Registration is required.
Questions: Contact Shannon Burke
Directions: Meet in the dirt parking area across from the Devil's Gulch trailhead. From Hwy 101 in Larkspur, take the exit for Sir Francis Drake Blvd west approximately 16 miles (approximately one mile beyond the main Samuel P Taylor Park entrance). The parking area is on the left.
