Dipsea Trail to Steep Ravine Trail Loop from Stinson

08/01/22

Regardless where you start this hike (Stinson, Steep Ravine TH, Whitegate Ranch TH, etc) this is a great trail and an inspiring route through some old growth forest. Would recommend going UP steep ravine and DOWN Dipsea using Old Mine as a connector at the Pantoll Campground. The signage is good and there’s so many different loops from Pantoll that you can add as much additional mileage as you’re up for. There’s also a ranger station that is staffed if you have questions or need recommendations.

Matt Davis-Steep Ravine Loop

This loop is made up of three of the most popular Marin trails and for good reason. These trails offer not only expansive ocean views, but a variety of topography and environments. This 6+ mile loop offers up waterfalls, dense forests, redwoods, and open grasslands overlooking the pacific. Starting from the Stinson Beach Trailhead behind the fire station, you will cross over an old, wooden brid...

Matt Davis-Coastal Trail Loop

This hike is an alternative to the famous Matt Davis to Steep Ravine Loop. The hike starts at Stinson Beach, just behind the fire Station. I recommend parking at the Beach parking lot. The Matt Davis trail is one of the best constructed trails I have ever seen. After 2.2 miles, turn left on the Coastal Trail. You can then enjoy amazing views on the north of Point Reyes. On a sunny day, there i...

Bouldering & BBQ at Stinson

Stinson offers up a great beach day with a few activities for everyone to enjoy. If you head toward the south end of the beach, you'll come across a few boulder problems, including the 2 most popular: Are You Experienced and The Old Man. Are You Experienced is the smaller of these 2 boulders, but offers up more of the challenging problems. It's also more accessible since it's further from the c...

Relax at Stinson Beach

Stinson beach is a popular destination for Bay Area residents and tourists alike. Located just 20 miles north of San Francisco, it is a 30-40 min drive away from the Golden Gate Bridge (it's a one-lane windy road once you're on HWY 1). It is also a popular stop when hiking the nearby Mount Tamalpais. The sand is very fine, making it a great place for kids to play in and build sand castles. T...

Rock Climbing Mickey's Beach

Mickey's Beach is a great spot for experienced climbers to challenge themselves. The west face of the main rock is home to some local favorites like Sex Porpoises (12c), named for the apparently promiscuous local marine life. There are only a couple routes rated as 5.10s, the rest are mostly 5.12s and 5.13s. That said, a beginner can make their way up most of the 5.10s and enjoy themselves. You...
