Hiking in Sausalito...

The next morning we drove into town for breakfast and to pick up picnic supplies, then parked the car at the cottage and walked up the hill to begin hiking. The early part of the trail was full of dog walkers with many, many dogs. We eventually made our way past all the dogs as we headed up and over the hills in the distance.

Along the way, we caught some nice views down to Sausalito...

...including seeing a seaplane taking off.

Once we turned more inland, we saw just one bird of prey...

...and one field of poppies, the state flower.

When we saw this quaint building, we assumed it was a church, but it was actually the Marin Headlands Visitor Center where we picked up a trail map and got some advice from a ranger.
