<\/p>\nLast Sunday, Jan 16th, we went to Carson Falls near Mt. Tam with Kelby and Belen and their parents. The weather was a bit foggy and cold to start, but within 1\/2 hour it turned beautiful. The kids were happy, and so were the adults.<\/p>\n
I think I reached this waterfall the first time I hiked in the area in 1998, a friend of a friend guiding the hike, but never managed to find it again. I guess because I thought we had actually been on Mt Tam that time. Anyway, now I have Andy, and Andy has a GPS and a great memory for hikes. And if the memory should fail we have documented it on the blog now… just need to enter Mt. Tam waterfall in the search box…<\/p>\n
Oops… fingerprint on the lens. But the photo was so happy I posted it anyway.

At the top of the waterfall, you look down on some beautiful pools:

Then you cross the bridge over the stream. The bridge was really artsy, the Marin Water District maintains their trails very well.

At the middle of the falls, there is a nice view:

\nWe had lunch on this beautiful rock, right next to the waterfall.

Then you can hike further down, where the falls go straight down against a rock. But there’s no place to sit and the trees block the view. Looking back up:

We stopped to play here, the kids had fun kicking and throwing rocks:

Afterward we went to the Scoop in Fairfax. Really good organic ice cream, some very interesting flavors (vanilla-honey-lavender) and combinations (chocolate and vanilla swirl, called I Have a Dream–for MLK day). And the portions are HUGE. Unfortunately that made me eat too much…

The lines are long, so the girls drew while we waited:
