February 7th (Sunday), 1999: Day Hike - "Cataract" -Waterfall Hike

Roaring, pounding water cascading through a fern-filled forest of deep green. Worth venturing out in a heavy rain (in fact, hope for rain!), for that's when `Cataract' is at its most awesome -a real treat during a heavy downpour! Short (but very steep) hike.

Meet at the hairpin curve (and trailhead) just west of Alpine Dam on Bolinas-Fairfax Rd. (Marin) at 10:30am. No pre-trip, or reservation required - just show up. Bring water, lunch/snacks, or treats to share, teacup, and good rain-gear.
