San Francisco
Usal Hike Club – Marin Headlands
Learning from the Land
Join us on an exploration of the Marin Headlands, a world-famous geologic landscape that reminds us how close wildness lives to the city. Just minutes north of the Golden Gate Bridge, the Marin Headlands offers an incredibly unique opportunity to see ancient rock formations, wide-open sky, and breathtaking views of the bay.
Our time on the trail will be intentional - an opportunity to redirect our attention towards the earth and each other. By recognizing the land as a space for gathering, reflection, and abundance, we hope to preserve and expand our connection between people and place. Along the way, we will stop to rest and reconnect.

Hike Details
Starting from the Gerbode Valley Trailhead, we will set out on a 6 -mile loop with about 1,100 feet of elevation gain. In this central section of the Marin Headlands - we will venture up through a mosaic of native coastal prairie plants. On a clear day, the following ridgeline descent offers incredible views of the Golden Gate Bridge, the bay, and the coast.
Terrain in the Marin Headlands can be challenging, but our pace will be accommodating for all experience levels.
