Nice Walk from the Cottage
The Lovell loop to Cascade Falls
Out of our driveway, turn right. Walk up to 750 Lovell at which point look on the right side of the road for a small sign that says: “44.” This indicates a trail that goes down to Cascade Falls.
At the bottom of the trail, continue along the road until you see Eugene Street. At this point you can either walk up the driveway of 482 Throckmorton to steep steps that lead back to our house (turn left at the top to get back to our house) –or–continue down the road to downtown Mill Valley.
