Big Rock trail in Lucas Valley/ Loma Alta Open Space preserve. Even in the height of summer, with the grasses dry and brown, the views are amazing! Remember to bring water and sunblock as you hike on the ridge line. There are lovely ‘oasis’ along the way in the form of islands of trees and even a spring fed water trough for horses. Links to Bay Area Ridge Trail. #Hiking #AboveItAll #MarinOpenSpaceCA
