Nice dayI did a big loop from Mountain Home Inn, including the East Peak. This was my first local hike after moving to the Bay area.

Marin TaggingMy second summit for the day (Sonoma Peak earlier). I got to the East Peak parking lot close to sunset. Wind was howling and visibility was about 200 feet. Tagged my 3rd CA Cohp.
Looked at the map and decided to see if there was somewhere to eat in Bolinas. It wasn't cheap but I had an absolutely delicious dinner at the Coast Cafe.

High above the low cloudsWe took the Fern Creek Trail to summit Mount Tamalpais and the Old Railroad grade to descend. Continued in the Muir Woods. After low clouds in the morning there was a stunning clear view over the bay area and San Francisco during our summit break.

From parking lotThis was my last of three California county highpoints for the day. I would love to have had more time to hike the extensive trail system. The wind was really blowing and all the pictures of my wife show her hair in horizontal positions.

The local peakBeen all over the mountain for years. The route I've done the most is the northeast ridge to the East Peak out of Kentfield via the Windy Ridge. It's one of the quickest ways to the top.

Took the easy wayNice views from the top, especially with half the bay covered in fog - a nice contrast.

traininghiked several times, it's a good way to get some vertical gain within the bay area. favorite route is from stinson beach, through steep ravine trail, and you can cool off afterwards by going for a surf.
