Geology the non mountain portion off the coast is the Sacramento - San Joaquin valley
but , you have to climb the coast range to get there..
sticking to Hwy 1. stay at the GGNRA Hostel the night before[ north of SF ,
and you should make the Montara Hostel by that night.
though winter like january daylight will be shorter than late Feb~ March..
you can take a right at the GG Bridge, Presidio.. and take the Highway on the western shore
and be south, thru SF in 90 minutes.
