Video: More Humpback Whales Pop Up In The Golden Gate

The Coastal Headlands hike is perfect for trying to spot these beautiful animals. I've seen whales several times in the SF Bay while on coastal hikes and each time I'm awed by their presence. Join us and hopefully it'll be your lucky day to see them too!

FYI, trail closures on the north side of Mt. Tam because of storm damage. This will cancel the Bon Tempe/Lagunitas hike and the Alpine Lake hike until further notice. The good news is that once they are reopened, the streams and waterfalls will be nice and full!

Great article about the camera traps on Mt. Tam. The mountain is full of wildlife, much of it elusive and/or nocturnal. But these pictures are great. I've seen bobcat, coyote, wild turkey, jackrabbit, interesting snakes, lizards, and newts, and of course deer and lots of birds on the mountain!
