Bay Area Life Science Hikers- August Edition

​August Hike Meetup: Tennessee Valley Trail 🥾🌊

​Join us for our next community hike! This month, we're heading out to the Marin Headlands to explore the Tennessee Valley Trail.

​It’s a gentle, scenic ~3.4-mile out-and-back route through a coastal valley that leads directly down to the dark sand beaches and cliffs of Tennessee Cove. Very accessible, mostly flat, and a great chance to catch up while taking in the ocean air.

​Key Details

• ​When: Sunday, August 2nd at 10:00 AM

• ​Where: Tennessee Valley Trailhead (Mill Valley, CA)

• ​Distance / Difficulty: ~3.4 miles total | Easy (~170 ft elevation gain)

• ​Route & Trail Info: AllTrails Link

​Quick Tips

• ​Parking: The main trailhead lot can fill up quickly on weekend mornings, so arriving 10–15 minutes early is recommended.

• ​Layers: Coastal fog can roll in fast, so bringing a light jacket or windbreaker is always a good idea.

• ​Pace: Friendly, conversational pace — all experience levels are welcome!

​Looking forward to seeing everyone there! Feel free to drop a comment below or send a message if you plan on joining so we can keep an eye out for you at the trailhead.
