 Overnight Over There

From San Francisco, you can walk over the bridge...to the Marin Headlands and Fort Cronkhite. An intersecting series of trails afford some of the most beautiful views you will ever encounter. For a while you’ll be able to see San Francisco—on a clear day it glints white in the sun. After a while the city disappears. Except for other hikers, you’ll be alone with your companion, the sea, the sky, and occasional glimpses of wildlife.

Moon Over Marin

One of my favorite-ever overnight hike/bike excursions took place in and around Mt. Tamalpais in southern Marin County, California.

At the time I was living in Berkeley, so my biking buddy and I traveled across the Bay together, parking at Mt. Tam’s Pan Toll Ranger Station. From there we took off on our bikes, wheeling down the mountain to Highway 1 and heading north along the coast. We stopped at some point, spending time on the beach—yes, oneof those Northern California beaches, with high cliffs and pounding waves and lots of driftwood—before turning around.
