The Marin 25 Peak Challenge motivated me to head out to this new area of Pt. Reyes this afternoon. From Muddy Hollow, I ran 0.9 miles to the Bucklin Trail, a 2.3 mile gradual climb to the summit of Pt Reyes Hill. Bucklin is in excellent shape, perfectly maintained.

At the summit, views of Drakes Bay were distant & hazy but still impressive. Didn't linger at the unshaded summit and ran the mostly downhill Inverness Ridge Trail to Drakes View Trail. Avoid Drakes View Trail -- there're no views and it's really overgrown most of the way down. Hoping I washed off any poison oak in time... will know in a few days.
