Grassy ridgelines and oak-studded hills offering panoramic views across Novato, San Pablo Bay and Mount Tam. Ideal for golden-hour panoramas, seasonal wildflower carpets in spring, and intimate nature shots. Trails are well-marked with limited parking at the main trailhead; no special permits. Best visited at sunrise or late afternoon for long shadows and warm light; midweek reduces crowds. Some steep sections require moderate fitness and water.
