Batteries Loop Trail - Marin Headlands – Plein Air
Sat, Jul 11, 4:30 PMHello MPAP members! We are painting outdoors at the Batteries Loop Trail in Marin Headlands. 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. **Meet and greet:** At 9:30 AM, we will be in the Battery Alexander Parking lot. MPAP artists Greg S 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.
