Mount Burdell, San Andreas Trailhead, Novato

This is a great morning hike as much of it is unshaded. Please leave your 4-legged friends home. It is considered a moderate hike, with mostly meandering hilly terrain, but nothing "steep." I like to make a long morning of this. Some of us will make it only so far as Hidden Lake, while others may want to do the loop. To see what I'm referring to, check out this map - https://marinlibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/92/2021/04/Mt-Burdell-trail-map.pdf

From Hwy 101 in Novato, take the exit for San Marin Drive, then continue west until you see San Andreas Drive on your right. You'll see Bay Club Rolling Hills and a shopping mall on the far corner as you turn right onto San Andreas. Follow the street til the neighborhood turns more rural. The trailhead can be seen on the right side. You'll see cars parked along the right hand side of the road. Park along there and meet at the trailhead.

GENERAL: Walks/hikes will take place on the second Saturday of every month. The location will rotate to accommodate different fitness levels.
