We are going to meet at the parking lot at the end of Mitchell road. We will do about 1.5 mile hike around the Rodeo Lagoon. The hiking trail is rocky dirt, so it is NOT stroller accessible.

From 101 south - Cross the Golden Gate Bridge and take the second exit Alexander Avenue. Get in the left lane following signs that read "101 San Francisco". Turn left at the stop sign and cross under the freeway. Turn right onto Conzelman Road and drive 1.8 miles to Hawk Hill. Park alongside the road before it becomes one way and then walk up the west side of Hawk Hill past the locked gate. It's just a few hundred feet to the summit.
From 101 north - After going through the Waldo Tunnel, take the last Sausalito exit to the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (the signs read Golden Gate National Recreation Area/Sausalito). Stay to the left. Turn left at the stop sign then right up the hill onto Conzelman Road. Stay on Conzelman Road for 1.8 miles. You will see a sign for Hawk Hill.[/stextbox]
[stextbox id="alert" caption="Alert" float="true" align="center"]There are NO food or beverage vendors in the Marin Headlands. You are advised to bring a picnic lunch and anything else you may need! There are many cafes and restaurants in Sausalito - not a long distance away, but with weekend traffic and tourism it could take up to 30 minutes to travel one way.[/stextbox] [stextbox id="warning" caption="Weather Advisory" float="true" align="center"]The weather is unpredictable so please dress in layers.
