Rodeo Valley

The weather was perfect on Easter Sunday so I hiked across the Golden Gate Bridge to the Marin Headlands.

From the bridge I hiked up the Coastal Trail to Wolfback Ridge, and around and down the SCA Trail and Rodeo Valley Trail to Rodeo Creek. On the way out I hiked up the Coastal Trail, and took a side hike up Slacker Hill for the views. Everything was so green!

I love how lizards will let you get really close, as long as you move slow and steady.

Sutro Tower in San Francisco is just visible. The Haight Ashbury is getting some fog, I was glad I was in the sunny Headlands.

There were wildflowers everywhere; the headlands are especially beautiful in the spring.
