There are plenty of ups and downs to know about this challenging trail.
, right near the Dipsea trailhead in Stinson and time it right, it's a great way to spend a day. While the shuttle does not take you all the way back to downtown Mill Valley, you can walk back to your car from the bus stop.. You can park at the large public lot at Stinson Beach, and then do a hike up the Dipsea steps from there, climbing up Steep Ravine Trail to Pantoll Campground. You'll descend on the Dipsea Trail for a shorter 6-mile loop.1.
2. Bring enough water and food for your trip. There are two official water fountains on the route, at the top of Cardiac and at the Muir Woods parking lot. There's also an unofficial one a kindly homeowner has built on Walsh Drive near the top of the climb after the stairs. 3. If you plan to catch the bus or a ride back, bring an extra jacket or clothing — the weather can change abruptly and you're likely to feel cold after working up a sweat.wash Tecnu to use in the beach showers at Stinson. Poison oak grows on all sections of the trail. It's especially prominent in the spring before it gets cut back.

Personally, I’m partial to the Steep Ravine stairs going down, just because of the picturesque nature of the creek and moss and odd mix of uneven steps. But when you're running it, there’s nothing like cresting Cardiac and then flying down the other side. There's a moment where you're running along a perfect, slightly downhill trail with amazing views of the ocean — it’s wildly different than the redwoods you just came through or the ravine you're about to hit.
