Just north of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, Mount Tamalpais State Park rises majestically from the heart of Marin County. Its deep canyons and sweeping hillsides are cloaked with cool redwood forests, oak woodlands, open grasslands, and sturdy chaparral. The breathtaking panorama from Mount Tamalpais’s 2,571-foot peak includes the Farallon Islands 25 miles out to sea, the Marin County hills, San Francisco Bay, the East Bay, and Mount Diablo. On rare occasions, the snow-covered Sierra Nevada can be seen 150 miles away.

Join us Saturday, February 4th for Troop 805’s first hike of 2017… the Mount Tamalpais Hike! Round trip to the top of Mount Tamalpais (or “Mt. Tam”) is a distance of 8.5 miles with an elevation gain of 1,081’. Along the way to the stunning views at the top we will see the famous Mountain Theater and replicas of the “Gravity Cars” designed to transport visitors from the top of the mountain to the redwood-filled canyon of Muir Woods using only gravity and a brake!
