Mt. Tam - Throckmorton to Old Railroad Grade Loop
This wonderful hike on the south side of Mt. Tamalpais in Marin County, California, explores the long-closed Throckmorton Trail up to East Peak, then returns via the Miller and Old Railroad Grade trails. The Throckmorton Trail is very steep in sections and makes the ascent quite strenuous.

Hot, vertical climb, no wind to cool off with until the trip down...loved it though...met some nice people at the East Peak Lookout. So many people you'd think a bus just let out...and about 6 dogs.
