Thanks go to our leader Jeff for planning this hike to reach the falls and not get wet. High tide was not a problem. 11 fearless hikers tackled the dreaded “Notch” to make it back in one piece.

Fog blanket cleared a bit by lunchtime to give us a clear view of Goat Rock from the overlook point. Abundant wildflowers, some excitement as word came back that rangers were closing the trail due to a bear sighting. We decided to complete the hike anyway, with some of us eager to see that bear, however no bear was seen by us. Were we seen by the bear? Who knows . . . the bear was not available for comment . . .

10 brave long hikers joined me on my favorite Bay Area hike and conquered the “dreaded notch” in the cliff next to the falls.
