What we’re about

Hey all! This is a new group here dedicated to hiking of ALL levels. Boots are not just for hiking, so we'll talk snow sports when the mountain's turn white again.

So as many of you probably know Shannon is shutting down Hikers and Company. She feels that it's run it's course, and I totally get. So in the shadow of a giant (insert nervous smiley face here) I hope this group will come close to replacing it. Shannon approves so far.

Obviously this is about hiking, but I may change the name to include other things. I'd like organizers to feel free to post what they want.

If you are already an organizer (or would like to be one) please let me know.

It's not free to run a Meetup group. I have no desire to require membership dues (which is an option in setting up a group I found out). So anything you can do to keep this site up would be appreciated.

Thank you Arthur for being a Co-Organizer on this.

Sat, 16 Nov 2024, 7:00 am PSTStinson Beach and Matt Davis Trail - My Favourite - and Yours Too
Needs location
NOTE: Rain cancels this hike.

My long awaited hike is here. It has been a very hectic (and emotional) year.

We meet at 11 & P at 6:45 and leave at 7 am. We leave early to get parking at the beach.

Carpool: We will arrange carpool at 11&P. Stay with your carpool if you have the same plans (staying later, etc) Please pay your driver at least $5.00/hour of driving or whatever the price of gas/galloon.

We will park at Stinson beach and hike up starting at Steep Ravine and have lunch at the Pantol Station Parking then hike down the easy Matt Davis Trail where we face the ocean with a panoramic view in front of us.
Additionally, I ask, "NO FLAKING" on your RSVP.
This is an all time favourite hike amongst many. Who can resist the trail winds of dull woodlands (only about a mile) that leads to panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean and the enigmatic city of San Francisco, the descend to the resort towns of Stinson Beach and the somewhat sheer climb to Steep Ravine all in one hike? Enjoy the chaparral covered hills, the old growth redwoods, the velvety moss concealing the trees and ultimately leading to the beach where we feel the placid ocean breeze onto our face and body.
It is a 7.3 mile loop of moderate ascend, about 1600 feet in elevation change. Duration is 4 to 5 hours. For more info about the trail, visit here. http://www.nrdc.org/greengate/outside/adv3.asp
NO DOGS ALLOWED AT THE PARK.
After lunch we will hike back down the easy trail of Matt Davis. Let’s hear the thundering waves, crashing surf and dance away into the swing of the twirling wind with the sun splashing its rays onto our face or just simply kick the sand under our feet.
Checklist for packing: Water, hat, sunscreen, lunch, light jacket, smile and positive attitude. Enjoy the company of your long time friends or make new friends.
Directions to the park: (99 miles, ~ 2 hours total. Take your time on the winding curves)
