I got a late start with learning about this challenge and as we get closer to the switching to standard time, I figured I should try to knock out one of the longer hikes before I lose the light. So even though I did my second peak, Black Mountain just a few days ago, I decided to do Mount Tam. I drove up early and I felt really good the whole hike, even though it was longer than I was expecting. I use AllTrails and it claimed it was 15 miles, but somehow it ended up being 18.5. Not sure what happened, but I made it anyway! The views from the top were fantastic and I had great weather – not too hot or cold. I will definitely be returning to hike more trails on Mt Tam in the future. I hadn't actually hiked here at all even though it's been on my list forever, so I was happy for the excuse from this challenge!
