This trail starts at the Golden Gate Bridge and works its way up into the hills of the Marin Headlands.

This dramatic trip takes you from the landmark Golden Gate Bridge into the hills of the Marin Headlands. Hikers climb through coastal chaparral and open grassland to the ridges above Sausalito and descend into the wide Tennessee Valley. Bicyclists ascend Conzelman Road with its breathtaking views and ride down into and out of scenic Rodeo Valley before dropping into Tennessee Valley, and equestrians begin in Rodeo Valley. You’ll have spectacular views of San Francisco Bay, the Marin Headlands, and the Pacific Ocean. Come prepared for wind and fog.
