Interpretive Hike: Trails of Creativity, with docent Caryn Lowe

Mt. Tamalpais State Park

Starts at 9am at Pantoll Parking Lot

“In every walk with nature one receives far more than they seek.” — John Muir

Spring is a special time to walk on Mt. Tam - the hills are green from winter water, birds are active and flowers take their turns showing off.  This hike will provide a little bit of everything.  Sweeping vistas.  Tree covered pathways.  And stops at the Mountain Theater and West Point Inn.  During this hike you will also learn a little bit about their rich history and what happens here today.
