Every Wednesday we offer four to five hikes ranging from 3-4 miles up to 12-15 miles in length. Everyone is welcome on these hikes; you do not have to be a member of anything to join us. You must always bring a lunch and water, wear good hiking boots, and be able to keep up with the group. These hikes are on uneven terrain and are not accessible to everyone. Be on time; we leave the meeting place at the time stated, and do not wait for latecomers. Most of our hikes are accessible by Golden Gate Transit (GGT). Rain or inclement weather can cancel a hike without notice at the leader's discretion.

For emergency services on Mt. Tam, cell phone users are advised to call 911.

Our two most used meeting places are MILLER & LOCUST in Mill Valley (the bus stop in front of the 7-Eleven on Miller Ave), and the so-called FAIRFAX PARKADE in downtown Fairfax (the parking lot across from the Fairfax Theater). Reservations are not required, just show up. Always go to the meeting place; don't go directly to the trailhead. Hike plans and trailheads may change at the last minute.

For information on a specific hike, call the leader (leader's phone number is at the end of each hike entry). For an e-mail copy of all hikes at a specific level (e.g. mini, 1A, 2B, etc), send an e-mail request to Bob Muller at: bmuller23@earthlink.net specifying the hike level.
