Golden Gate Hike to the Headlands

We hiked across the Golden Gate Bridge northward in the clearing fog. Under a glorious blue sky we hiked a loop in the Marin Headlands and lunched in the company of several (wonderful|smelly) horses.

You can see details of our route courtesy of Stephen’s Garmin. We hiked 11.84 miles with 1800ft elevation gain. Several scouts carried full backpacks as training for the 50 miler and got a curious question from a man on the bridge who was surprised that we were only from Berkeley!

As we walked back across the bridge we passed many people dressed in white and sporting the Venezuala flag. They had formed a human chain across the bridge, one of many nationwide demonstrations against the actions of the Venezualan government.
