Twin Peaks

Take the stairs at Clayton Ave & Corbett Street....

....up to a gorgeous old tree....

...and follow the Twin Peaks signs to wind up one last stretch of bendy road.

                              And, like Adam and Eve in Paradise Lost, the world will be all before you. 

Yes, all of it. Transamerica Tower and Market Street. Golden Gate, San Rafael, and Bay bridges. 

All from a half mile walk! Take someone you love on a nice day. 

 And perhaps (next time we will remember) a cool drink with which to celebrate. 

On Friday, we went to Kirby Cove, which is one of those places that I see and regret not having known about it before. It is the perfect place to take out-of-towners for stunning views of the Golden Gate, the city, and a taste of the Marin Headlands.

Park at the first lot on the left on Kirby Cove Road, and check out the view from the fort before heading down the track that leads down to the beach. The beach is small, secluded (save for two geese), and has brown-black sand and funny caves all around.
 

And...especially because the walk is short...
be sure to take a picnic to match the view.
