Jewels in the Shadow
Muir Woods with its iconic redwoods, the San Francisco Bay highlighted by Alcatraz, Angel Island and the Golden Gate Bridge, and the iconic California surf spirit of Stinson Beach. These are stunning, glorious places, stars so bright that people sometimes can’t see past them to lesser-known treasures right around the corner. In the shadow of both Mt. Tam which looms above it and the name recognition of Stinson Beach to the north, tiny Steep Ravine Beach is a hidden jewel. A small beach below the dramatic Steep Ravine cabins facing the Pacific, Steep Ravine Beach features tidepools, misty mornings, breathtaking sunsets, and even a natural hot spring. Take time to explore smaller dots on the map. You might be surprised at how many treasures are on offer away from the crowds. Keep putting one foot forward! This week’s Hike Notes, Steep Ravine Beach, leads readers to this small beach with its tide pool creatures down the paths from the Steep Ravine Cabins on Mt. Tam.
