2014 Hike #5: Lagoon Trail Loop

I'm back home in the Bay Area after a brief trip to L.A., and it's back to hiking the Marin Headlands this weekend.

Since Daisy is a bit handicapped at the moment (she's healing from a freak accident with an escalator at SFO. The floor panel sliced her paw and she has stitches), I decided to do an easier trail that wasn't too strenuous for her.
How is this comfortable? She really does sleep this way.


So we went back to Rodeo Beach and walked the Lagoon Trail Loop (a little more than a mile around the lagoon). It started off with a soft foundation, yet difficult to traverse: sand.


The trail led up to a steep incline before leveling into what seemed like a walk through the woods to grandma's house. I felt a bit like Red Riding Hood as I stepped slowly forward. I stopped to take in the sounds of the humming birds' fluttering wings. The soft sway of the branches through the breeze. Even with the twisted branches, the surroundings were beautiful.


As the trail neared its end, there were stunning views of the headlands and along the path galloped a horse. 



The Marin Headlands is quite expansive and there is plenty more I've yet to explore. Until next weekend, enjoy the photos.
