Because it was supposed to rain this weekend (yay!) we decided to take the dog on a long-ish hike on Saturday. We headed to Pt. Pinole and ended up in an area that was new to us. When we went into the park toward the play structures, we headed right toward Cook's Point. Just before the point at the trail intersection, we headed left on Marsh Trail. This trail runs along the bay toward the fishing pier. The marsh is beautiful in its own unique way. There's a great display that explains how the marsh was formed and illustrates all the plants. Thanks EBRPD naturalists! After we spent some time educating ourselves and watching the birds, we headed back on Owl Alley. We went about 3 miles.
We love Pt. Pinole! It's less than half an hour from our house so we can go there without any advanced planning. Huge amounts of the park are off-leash, which the dog loves. It's flat, which my knee loves, and there are so many trails you almost never repeat a hike. And its' beautiful!
