About the event
We will begin just off downtown Larkspur in Baltimore Canyon and climb through redwood forests to Blithedale Ridge, where we will enjoy stunning vistas of Mt. Tam, Downtown San Francisco, and the Bay. AllTrails lists this loop at 8 miles with 1600 feet of climbing. It is closer to 10 miles. Ascents can be fairly steep but short. A very short stretch of the final descent is steep. Therefore, polls are highly recommended for this hike.
