I’m just getting around to being able to blog about this new I took last Saturday. So far this is one of my favorites that I have done and gives you a nice degree of difficulty, elevation change and great scenery. The hike is hidden in Larksupr, California (Marin County) and is about 5.3 miles round trip if you take the trail I did. I found a great book of 141 hikes for my local area, which also allows you to download the maps in PDF format and print them so you don’t have to carry the actual book around.

Baltimore Canyon (A15 hike in the book) starts out in a really nice redwood tree area and slowly climbs up to Blithedale Ridge where you can see great views of the bay and Mount Tamalpais. When I went it wasn’t to crowded which is good but I did run into a little friend (Banana Slug) slowly going across my trail. Check out Picture 42 and 43 of my hike to see.

I have exported my photos and GPS coordinates into Google maps which you can see below. You can zoom in or select a red push pin to see a thumb of a photo and clicking on the thumb shows your a full screen image. These Images are taken directly where they found in the map. I usually carry a GPS logger and my camera around to log my hikes.

Another cool thing is if you have the Free Google Earth viewer you can download my trip here for Google Earth.
