Spectacular scenery, amazing temperature changes, panoramic views of both Mount Tamalpaias and San Francisco on this short, refreshing hike. Point Bonita is rich in nautical history dating back to late 1700s and much of the other infrastructure dates back to 1902 with the consturction of the first US military installations. Today, the military property is decommissioned and most of the buildings in the area are used for recreational purposes. Besides the visitor\'s...
Taking some breaths of fresh air to start 2009 on the right foot.
I managed to convince the entire family to go hiking with me, on a roughly three-and-a-half mile track that will serve as the "family hike" for this years Bay Area Ridge Trail "Ridge to Bridge" event.

Tips
If you want to visit the Point Bonita light house, be sure you come Saturday, Sunday or Monday only between the hours of 12:30 and 15:30. As you can see from my picutre, the metal gate to the tunnel is locked if you miss the time.

Either get an early start, or expect to park a ways away from the
trailhead(s). This is an extremely popular area, but has designated
parking for only about thirty cars (if that).Bikes and strollers are not uncommon; the trail is paved for the first half, and a wide, hard-packed dirt road beyond that until you get to the beach sand. If you bring wheels, however, stick to the main trail instead of the (narrower) "Lower Tennessee Beach Trail".We neglected to bring extra pants/socks/shoes for the kids, because we considered it "a hike" instead of "a beach visit". Don't make our mistake.
