Day Trip: Cataract Falls




Recently Cam and I went to Cataract Falls in Marin, a hike that had been recommended to both of us by several people. The hike was gorgeous. It starts at the base of a completely still, glass-like lake, and ascends Mt. Tam with views of seven waterfalls on the way. It reminded me of a hike I’ve done in Hawaii, which is pretty crazy considering we were actually just outside of San Francisco in January....

We looked at a couple of different websites to find the hike, and LocalHikes seemed to have the clearest directions. One tip: the left turn at Pacheco is unmarked, so instead of looking for a street sign, look for the wooden sign that says “Fairfax”.
