Dipsea Loop Spring
May 7, 2005

A trip up Mt Tam on a fine Saturday






On our way up along Matt Davis' trail, the Farallones amount in the distance.




Audrey carefully avoiding the plentiful poison oak







































me




a glance back at the coast we're leaving behind














there are many bridges along our way...









...and lots of stairs.









the ground covered with blue









by the waterfall




You can eat that...?




Well...tastes like lettuce....actually.














tree fungus




Thou shalt not touch.
[poison oak...nasty stuff]




mushrooms









What on earth....?














hike up the hill









good ol' clover




hillside trail




The big city is not far away from this greenery









Snakes and lions also like it here.




Talking about the devil...




rest stop









We approach the famous ladder...














A wild strawberry! My favorite berry - a hard one to find.




back down by the ocean




It's pretty clear why they called it 'banana slug'.




Back at the trail head. That's the gorgeous Dipsea Loop.
