Rodeo Valley

The weather was perfect on Easter Sunday so I hiked across the Golden Gate Bridge to the Marin Headlands.

From the bridge I hiked up the Coastal Trail to Wolfback Ridge, and around and down the SCA Trail and Rodeo Valley Trail to Rodeo Creek. On the way out I hiked up the Coastal Trail, and took a side hike up Slacker Hill for the views. Everything was so green!

I love how lizards will let you get really close, as long as you move slow and steady.

There were wildflowers everywhere; the headlands are especially beautiful in the spring.
