The next day was in Mill Valley. Up at the end of town is a beautiful redwood valley that holds Mill Creek. The creek was still running this late in the year and the shade was a delight to start the run. I finish with a steep and rugged trail up to a fire road. Am running along and thinking how far I was going to go. I had not intended to go to the top. I have been there before. But as time past and I saw the sign that said 2.6 miles to the top I thought what the heck and went for it.
The fire road up to the top of Mt. Tam is very rocky. The rocks are sharp and angular so the foot fall seems is never flat.
At on turn where the Weaver Trial is there is a 270 degree view from the ocean with tankers to the Golden Gate, to the City, to the Richmond Bridge. Not a cloud in the sky and no fog so my oh my what a sight!
Get all the way to the top and after some water, fly down as best I can on the rocky terrain.
Beautiful and big run.
