Description
To get to the trailhead you need to make your way into the Green Gulch Farm. Go past the left side of the farm and you'll start an ascent. You'll be working around to the eastern slope of the hill, then as you come back around toward the west you'll gradually wind your way up past the Hope Cottage. The cottage marks the half way point. Now your view will remain out toward the west and north. Included in your view will be Muir Beach, the Dias Ridge and of course the Green Gulch Farm and Zen Center. This trail connects the highway with the Tennessee Valley for an out and back or part of any number of looped hikes once you join the Coyote Ridge Trail.
