Favorite Hikes: The Alta Trail in the Headlands

The relatively flat Alta Trail in the Marin Headlands is a great place to walk your dog, 

with views of Richardson Bay, Angel Island and Sausalito. 

To access the Alta Trail, take the Sausalito/Marin City exit from Highway 101. 

Turn right onto Donahue St., and continue all the way to the top of the hill 

where the road dead ends, and a fire road begins. You can park there,

and then hike the trail. If you want to make it a more strenuous hike, 

it connects to the Bobcat and then the Miwok trails.
