Samuel P. Taylor State Park to White Hill Open Space:
10.8 miles one way; car shuttle possible
From: State Park Entrance in Lagunitas
To: Brown Bridge in Fairfax
This segment starts in the valley on the old railroad trail then climbs to San Geronimo Ridge. The ridge fire road is long and undulating, with rewarding 360-degree views of the North Bay, and deep canyons and wooded ridges crowned by Mount Tamalpais. The route feels remote and has a dramatic view down to scenic Kent Lake. After reaching its highest elevations in a unique Sargent cypress forest, the trail descends through White Hill Open Space Preserve, offering more beautiful views.
Elevation Gain/Loss 1,540 feet/1,265 feet one-way
