Today we leave our everyday life behind and travel into Marin’s wildest, rawest, least touched land to hike in the area I call the “Big Empty.” Located between Big Carson Ridge and Bolinas Ridge, it is harsh country and magnificent. It is close in distance, but far away from our usual experience.
On our out-and-back hike, we will see Tomales Bay in the distance, stand atop Pine Mountain —Marin’s third highest — and see a broad expanse of Marin’s largest and most hidden reservoir, Kent Lake.
