Beautiful Mt. D and the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge.

Bon Tempe Dam












Alpine Lake

Found a small spot of shade for our egg break - standing room only however.


Uuhhh... it's so hot.
The only trail with shade - Little Carson Trail.

Top of the (dry) Carson Waterfall.



The Marin fog we were expecting, to escape the heat, was not present. In fact it was friggin' hot; all but a mile of this hike was in full sun.

Notice the mushroom shaped cloud just above the hills - must be where the thunder we were hearing was coming from.
