Second day off; second hike under warm and sunny skies. My trusty hiking buds Don and Heidi craved someplace new (I did, too), some trails we'd never before hiked, and we found 'em in Homestead Valley, on the lower eastern flank of Mount Tamalpais. Good tramp; 4.5 miles or so, with some impressive elevation gain, beautiful scenery in and out of the forest, lovely little creek crossings, redwoods, a delightful showing of early spring wildflowers (the parade continues), and virtually no other people on the (well-marked and cared for) trails! Loved it!
