Review:
In the heart of Marin County, not far from San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge, rises Mt Tamalpais State Park with mysterious deep canyons and hillsides covered with ancient redwood forests, dense oak woodlands, wide open grasslands, and hardy chaparral.
The park is a popular hiking destination and is a favorite among mountain bikers and wildlife watchers.
Every trail offers unsurpassed views, but from its 2,571-foot peak you can see Farallon Islands far out to sea, San Francisco Bay, the Marin County hills, Mount Diablo, the East Bay, and, at times, even the snow-covered slopes of Sierra Nevada 150 miles away. The visitors center is a good starting point in exploring the park.
