What started out as a lovely walk in the mist was shortened when the sun came out! The hiking trails offer spectacular views and if your are a mountain biker, you will find yourself in bliss!

We had lived in the Bay Area for almost 30 years, but only visited Mt. Tam after we left. Glad we finally made it. Green and quiet above the clouds, San Francisco and Stenson Beach so far below, truly in another world. There were plenty of hiking trails, not a shortage there. Great views of course. We liked beging above... More

Mt. Tamalpais State Park is a great place for a weekend day hike and is located very conveniently just north of SF in Marin County. On weekends, you can even get there via public transportation if you plan appropriately (I took GGT Bus #80 to Marin Transit Hub and then the West Marin Stagecoach #61 to the Pantoll Ranger Station)....

For many years, off and on, I used to live on the side of Mt. Tamalpais (in Mill Valley, CA). Mt. Tamalpais has diverse landscape, ecosystems and views you will ever see. Forests, meadows, rain-forest streams, Bay Area views.

Mt. Tam as it is known to the locals has something for everyone. You can drive up in late afternoon and sit on one of the grassy slopes that aim down towards Stinson Beach to watch the sunsets or take a short hike up to the ranger tower to look out over the whole San Francisco Bay and Marin county....

We toured the whole park, driving the ocean side as the fog rolled in. We did the trail to the ocean point and it was thrilling to watch the ocean become enraptured by fog. The windy roads give u a new perspective at every turn. Just be patient and enjoy!

A bit of a drive from city up hill, windy road was a challenge for a flat lander from Florida but definitely worth it.

Mt. Tam is such a great place to go for hiking, running, or riding. I'm very lucky to live in Marin County, and in going to Mt Tam I always forget how wonderful it is. Can get windy - bring layers. Bring a picnic!

With views of the bay and the east bay. The trails are well managed and open to the views. The park has never been crowded when I've been there.
