Marin Voice:
It is time for trail access for all
THE TRAIL ACCESS DEBATE wears on in this paper, with the arguments never changing. What is different this time is that the Marin Board of Supervisors has stepped up as directors of our open space, and are seeking new solutions to address user conflict on our open space trails.

680 Trail Project Hike - Rescheduled - Sat. June 5th
The Marin County Open Space District will lead a hike to see the
updated layout for the proposed 680 Trail on Saturday, June 5th at
10:00 am. There are 2 meeting locations at the Loma Alta Open Space.
1. 10:00 - End of Glen Drive in Fairfax – at the bottom of the Smith Ridge fire
road that leads to the large water tanks on Loma Alta.
2. 10:30 - Smith Ridge fire road at the trail head to the upper hiking trail known as “Meditation Trail”. The trailhead is near the top of the fire road – 150 yardsfrom the boundary gate to Skywalker Ranch.
The hike is very strenuous - up to 7 miles long on steep slopes and poor footing. To walk the entire route may take 5 to 7 hours. You will have the opportunity to leave early, but be prepared for a long day to see the entire layout.
PLEASE RSVP THE DEPARTMENT OFFICE AT (415) 499-6387.
If you have questions or would like additional information, contact
(Wear durable hiking shoes and sun screening - and bring drinking water. This is tick territory, so check for ticks upon completion of the hike.)
