Basic Details:

 Big Hike Sunday: 

Cataract Falls and Potrero Meadows Loop

 

Nestled about an hour north of San Francisco, Cataract Falls is a true Bay Area gem. This trail is breathtaking, and brings us to multiple waterfalls situated in the heart of the Mt. Tamalpais Watershed, near the scenic Stinson Beach in Marin County, California. Towering at an impressive height of approximately 300 feet, Cataract Falls ranks as one of the tallest waterfalls in the region. The trail journey to Cataract Falls treats us to a tapestry of enchanting woodland scenery, a heart-pumping uphill adventure, and the ultimate prize—unobstructed views of the falls and the picturesque canyon that cradles it.

 

 

What to Expect:

A beautiful, view-tastic hike around Mount Tamalpais Watershed and Cataract Falls. We'll meet new friends, soak in the North Bay sunshine and openness, get our steps in, enjoy the gorgeous views and beautiful waterfalls and have a great time! Expect to sweat a little bit, but the gorgeous views will make it well worth it in the end. With a little luck, we might get a crystal clear day and have views for days and picture perfect memories!

This is a strenuous hike, about 10.4 miles with just over 2,000 ft of elevation gain. It's a good mix of strenuous uphill, switchbacks and elevation gain (well worth it for the views!) and more mellow flat paths as we descend towards Alpine Lake. This will be a challenge, but totally doable. You got this! Here is the Alltrails Link.

 

 

 

 

Event Includes:

  • A beautiful hike with many waterfalls!!
  • Light trail snacks
  • An adventurous host!

 

What to Bring:

  • Your own packed lunch!
  • Fill your water bottles ahead of time (no water at the trailhead)
  • A backpack for all your essentials!
  • Bring your well behaved pup! This trail is dog friendly!

 

 

 

Attire:

Wear comfortable hiking shoes and dress in layers so we're prepared for whatever the weather will throw at us! The trail is more so exposed than it is covered (so prepare for both!), so bring a hat, sunscreen and sunglasses! And it could get windy so LAYERS!

 

See you there :D
