Muir Creek Fossil Hunt, May 11, 2013 Saturday Recon

Muir Creek Fossil Hunt, May 11, 2013 Saturday Recon

This hike has to be coordinated with a low tide to get the best value out of the hike.  Saturday's low tide is 10:15 am

Kathy's report


The area I suggested for a fossil hunt and hike is Muir Creek.  See http://www.muircreek.org/_
Welcome_to_Muir_Creek.html  and click on "fossils".     
We need to go at low tide in mid morning so we'll have to plan ahead.  It only takes about 15 minutes to walk to where the fossils can be seen but we can continue along the shore as far as we want.  Apparently it is also possible to walk up the side of the creek at the end of the summer when it is really dry but I haven't personally done that so I don't have any details.  It would be fun to check it out.

Everyone thought this was a great hike - definitely to be repeated!

Great Pics - Thanks Dwayne














Here are links describing Muir Creek

This looks like a great hike with the interest of seeing fossils ( not referring to our group at all!!)







Directions and map

We'll be leaving from the centre at 9:15 as usual.

It's about 45 mins to the trail head; we will be at the Muir Creek Bridge by about 10:15 - smack dab on low tide!

According to the tide tables, low tide is 10:15 am, so this should be the perfect day for the trip.
