TOMALES BAY 
JEPSON TRAIL
July 10, 2008
Home

Trail Description: We took this trail about a year ago and have noticed a little drying in this otherwise lush Pine, Madrone, and fern laden habitat. While everything was still green, many flowers were a little past their prime and the foliage a little brittle. None-the-less it was again one of the greenest hikes we've taken, and a nice respite from the interior heat.

Trail Location: See the park page.
