Corte Madera Salt Marsh Ecological Reserve

Trip Details

Trip Description: Come explore the wetlands along Corte Madera Marsh while taking in the views of Mount Tampalpais and the San Francisco Bay. We will paddle out in stable double sea kayaks while keeping our eyes open for the curious harbor seals that gather nearby.
