Batteries Loop Trail - Marin Headlands – Plein Air
Sat, Sep 26, 4:30 PMHello MPAP members! Let's return to the Batteries Loop Trail in Marin Headlands. Folks who painted at this location last time said it was amazing and requested that we come back. Along this trail loop (see photos) there are fantastic views of the Pacific, waves crashing upon Rodeo Beach, hills of the Marin Headlands, and if weather is particularly clear, one can even make out the Farallon Islands, some 30 miles in the distance. For those that want a little hiking with their painting adventure, you can take the South Rodeo Beach Trail down to South Rodeo Beach. **Directions**: Cell phone reception is spotty here; so make sure you search for the location before you set out. Click the map link in the event or search for "Battery Alexander Parking" in either Google or Apple maps. Message me on MeetUp the Friday before if you are unsure about the meeting location. **Meet and greet:** At 9:30 AM, we will be in the Battery Alexander Parking lot. MPAP artists Greg S, Greg B, and Sandy M will be there. **Show and tell:** At the end of the event around 12:15, we will gather back at the Battery Alexander Parking lot for a "show and tell" of our art work. **Amenities**: An accessible vault toilet can be found at the Battery Alexander parking area. Additional restrooms can be found at the Field Rd. parking lot. **Parking:** Free. The parking lot is huge. **Shade**: Bring a sun umbrella or sun hoodie in case it is a sunny day. There are not many shaded areas, but hopefully it’s cool given how close we are to the coast.
