These photos are from the Steep Ravine area in Mount Tamalpais State Park (just north of San Francisco in the county of Marin). My mom, sister, and I walked along the Dipsea Trail, which stretches 9.5 miles from Muir Woods to Stinson Beach. The trail starts on the top of a cliff to the south of Stinson Beach, overlooking the beach and leads through Steep Ravine along a creek where there are many trees, including redwoods. There is also a ten-foot ladder that you have to climb to get up to the next part of the trail to get over a big rock wall. We were going to turn back because up the ladder and a little further along the path we were told there was a park ranger who was giving fines to people for having a dog on the trail. We thought our dog couldn’t climb up the ladder, but he felt the need to, so he just bolted up in about two seconds. A man offered to help him down, as you can see in the last photo included here. Overall it was a very relaxing walk and I would definitely recommend it.
