Join Ed Robb and Stephanie Lenkey for a moderate hike on the Mule Deer trail to Frazier Meadow in Golden Gate Canyon State Park. The trail is rocky, with smooth sections, in the  trees and some open spaces. It travels down to Frazier Meadows, site of an old ranch, where we’ll snack before returning. This is a moderate grade trail.

This is a 4.6 mile, 560' elevation gain hike. The parking at the trailhead is very limited so we need to carpool.
