So out we went to conquer Corte Madera, my brother, son, my wife's' dog and I. The hike began at 9 and  the weather was perfect for a hike and its seems many other people thought so as well.  We saw a lot of other groups on this hike both going up and coming down. The views on this hike are amazing and with the recent rains everything was bright and green.  As stated in many other reports the brush can get thick so wear pants. I  chose to wear shorts and barefoot runners, my shins paid the price with manzanita gouges and my toes will not forgive me. All in all a beautiful not too hard hike with a lot of other people to talk to along the way.
