Hiking the Matt Davis-Steep Ravine Loop!
Awesome hike out of Stinson Beach!
The trip report
We had great weather for an awesome 7.4 mile hike. I can confirm that the Matt Davis-Steep Ravine loops is indeed one the best hikes in the Bay Area.
We had a turnout of about 20 guys from all parts of the Bay Area. The great thing about this hike was the variety-something for everybody to love. Some elevation change, several changes in topography, water features, views of the coast.
We will definitely do this hike again! Not to be missed.

..."The Matt Davis Trail is a masterpiece of trail construction - the perfect trail through a spectacular landscape. The entire experience, from Stinson Beach to Pantoll (and back), is a joy. Steep Ravine starts out in a pretty redwood canyon and gets better with each step, as you descend past waterfalls and down a famous ladder. The hike only spends a short time on historic Dipsea, but this segment showcases fabulous, gasp-worthy views of Stinson Beach, the Pacific coastline, and Point Reyes."
Bring a bag lunch/snacks, water, some sun screen, a hat and your fine self.
Please post if you need a ride or can offer a ride.
