Bi-weekly hiking Sunday is back! Randy and I kicked it back into gear last weekend with the 17.7km roundtrip between Rodeo Beach and Muir Beach on the Coastal Trail. Epic. Beautiful weather (18C and sunny with a slight breeze off the Pacific). Scenery straight out of a travel brochure. Two beaches. An abandoned military installation. Lizards. A snake. Some trailblazing and a few scrambles up piles of rock. A good dose of mud and bit blood from a slide down the trail. Great conversation. Lunch served on silver trays on the lawn of the Pelican Inn. Absolutely perfect.
Photoset here. Love this one. The shot betrays the scale, but it captures my favourite moment of any hike; when you look up and realize just how much there is left to climb.
