Trailhead on Mill Valley’s Mount Tam ridgeline offering redwood-shaded approaches, mixed oak chaparral, and quick access to sweeping Bay Area panoramas (San Francisco, Golden Gate, Marin Headlands). Best at golden hour or during coastal fog for mood. Small roadside parking on Summit Ave; expect limited spaces so arrive early on weekdays. No entry fee; trails are moderate with uneven surfaces—bring layers for wind and sudden temperature change. Respect local trail etiquette and dogs on leash.
