Dipsea Trail - Steep Ravine Loop

This is definitely a worthwhile short hike, with views of the Bay Area, Marin Headlands, Golden Gate, and the San Mateo coastline. It's a 3.8 mile loop which takes you through forests of Redwoods and out to the coastline, even above the clouds on a lucky day.

The trailhead begins at the Pantoll Ranger Station: Follow Panoramic Hwy from Hwy 1 to the junction of Panoramic Hwy and Pantoll Road. You'll find yourself immediately in the Redwood Forest, then will take a dip into Steep Ravine which is an amazing Redwood Canyon. Near the end you'll find a waterfall after climbing the rock stairs. Happy hiking!
