9:30am “Scent-Sational Mt. Tamalpais” Hike
Jun 16, 2019
Time: 9:30 AM
Trailhead: Mt Home Trailhead.
“Scent-Sational Mt. Tamalpais” interpretive hike with docent John Cook.
Mt. Tamalpais is a treasure of beautiful views and quiet places. But Mt. Tam’s fragrance is another treat for the senses. On this short hike, we will have “close encounters” with some of the plants that lend Mt. Tam a distinct scent. Depending on the season, wander through forests of Douglas fir, Bay laurel, and other fragrant species. We’ll “stop to smell” these and other plants like wild lilac and coastal sage in a natural setting. You’ll never smell Mt. Tam the same way again.
