Well, Christina and I were so disappointed that we didn't get to do the full Matt Davis - Steep Ravine loop (and the fact that we just LOVED the hike!) that we decided to make another trip together back up the mountain to the Rock Springs Trailhead. But this time, instead of taking the Old Mine Trail down to the beach, we headed towards the falls! Cataract falls that is!
I have been on this hike only once before: a special hike for my birthday this past March where I went with a small group of friends and a fabulous shelter dog named Teddy. Christina and I chose to do this hike again not only because it is hands down one of the most beautiful hikes on Mt. Tam - but because we could bring her lil' monsters (Ginny and Xiao) along for the hike!
We arrived at the trail head a little after 7:30am and there wasn't a car or person in sight!
(You can just see Xiao behind one of the rocks there!)
We probably saw less than 20 people the whole morning (and at least 3/4 of them we saw at the very end of the hike!). Down we went to the falls, Ginny and Xiao running around like little kids in the water. Both Christina and I said how in much better shape we are now that we were the last time we each did this hike. And it's true -- we were kickin' butt.I'm not sure how many miles we did, but 3 hours and 45 mins later we were ready for the trip back home. :)
