High on the slopes of Mount Tamalpais and along Bolinas Ridge, this route takes full advantage of the mountain’s breathtaking views, forested glades, and grassy slopes. The views to the ocean out over the steep open slopes are unsurpassed. Coastal fog often obscures vistas in the morning and late afternoon. Choose a clear winter or spring day to appreciate views up and down the coast and the wildflowers that bloom along the trail.
