Marin Women's Hiking Group

This is a 4 mile (866ft elevation change) loop hike in the Marin Headlands. We begin at the Gerbode Valley parking lot, where we'll pick up the Coastal Trail and start our ascent. Once at Hawk Hill, we'll take in the beautiful, panoramic views of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge. From there we continue on the Coastal Trail to the Julian Trail, which will bring us back to the parking lot.

We'll meet near the bathrooms. Shoes with good traction are highly recommended.

The Gerbode Valley parking lot is 1.6 miles from the exit of the tunnel on the right.

Revisiting a short and sweet well-loved hike! We will be rewarded with some great views at the top and along the way, then head back down. Short, and sweet, but with some sweat!

We meet at the Tennessee Valley Trailhead parking lot by the bathrooms. There is free parking and bathrooms at the trailhead. If the lot is full, you will need to park on the side of the road and walk in. Please be sure to allow enough time to do that.

Rain will cancel this event. If there is a question, please check back here for any notices. Thank you.
