Mount Tamalpais State Park

Beautiful state park north of San Francisco.

Reviewed By AdvtrTrvlr - Camarillo, United States

This area is north of the Marin Headlands and the Muir Woods. We drove all around on the Panoramic Highway down to Stinson Beach. Many of the roads are very narrow and have sharp curves. The main thing to do in this park are countless numbers of hikes you can do, many from the woods / mountains all the way down to either Muir Beach or to Stinson Beach.

Dipsea Trail

Reviewed By DerekLarsen - Salt Lake City, United States

I loved the Dipsea Trail loop which was beautiful and had a fair amount of elevation gain. It is a 2 - 3 hour loop hike that weaves through beautiful stunning forest on the California coast. I would encourage doing this hike during the week to avoid the crowds.

Old Mill Park

Restored, historic sawmill turned park, site of annual Mill Valley Arts Fest.

Reviewed By Gavatron07 - Napier, New Zealand

This park featuring a stand of redwoods is definitely worth adding to a cycle ride over the Golden Gate Bridge around to Tiburon. The town is quaint and comparatively peaceful after the bustle of the city. The signage to it could be a bit clearer but it's not hard to find your way from the cycle path and back again. If you're in the area don't miss it.

Golden Gate View Point

Reviewed By 716sachink - Plainview, United States

Golden Gate View Point offers some spectacular views of the Golden Gate Bridge and it’s surroundings. Certainly would very highly recommend visiting the same to any traveler, when in San Francisco.
