About this Event
SV Monthly Hike
 
Every first Wednesday of the month SV will host a hike that ranges 3-5 miles over different terrains, generally moderate hikes with moderate elevation gains.  The exact hike will be posted several weeks before the date.
 

THIS MONTH: Kirby Cove  9:30 Meet at Dunphy Park to carpool


Kirby Cove hike is a popular three mile round-trip trail in the Marin Headlands. It descends roughly 600 feet down a steep, unpaved fire road through eucalyptus and pine trees to a quiet beach with rare, postcard-worthy views of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Location for trail start: Battery Spencer parking area on Conzelman Road

What to Expect
The Walk Down: The first half is an easy, steady walk downhill toward the ocean.
The Beach & Views: Stunning look at San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge from the beach. 
The Climb Back:  The trip back is entirely uphill. We will take our time on the steep but gradual return climb.

Facilities: Pit toilets and picnic tables are near the beach, but there is no drinking water.

 
We will carpool from Dunphy Park at 9:30am for SV members/volunteers.  Non-members/volunteers are welcome but will be responsible for their own transportation.
 
ALWAYS:  A sunhat, sunscreen, water, snack/lunch
