Primavera Expert Web Site + *Mt.Tamalpais Hiking

We had a marvelous hike out at China Camp SP and surrounding lands today. It was perfect hiking weather. Some of us thought it was the peak of wildflower season on the trails we hiked. Thanks to Bebe for bringing all this to us. Great views, marvelous trails a fine group and all the exercise anyone could want. I would call this one, a hiker's hike

I'll try to go over the trails covered, but it was my first time. I can give an overview and make some guesses: We parked in the vicinity of Back Ranch Meadow.and found our way up the Powerline Tr. Our eventual lunch destination being the old Nike Missle launcher site. I think we incorporated the Bay View and Echo Trails and Bay Hills Dr. into the Scettrini Fire Rd. at this point the maps I have are not clear, I got lost, but with the help of cell phones managed to catch up to the group: all this in the  before lunch part of the hike. The Nike Site was a marvelous lunch stop. We all relaxed and regrouped before the afternoon wanderings.

Then we started down, I've placed a series of trail sign photos below, hopefully in the correct order of my hike back. About halfway back I lost my favorite pair of sunglasses and spent about 45 minutes finding them. So my route after that search differs from the main hike. (see the trail sign photos for that route)     

Without further ado here are the photos from today's hike.
