mt. tamalpais–please give me specific details on getting the best out of it?
where to park, where to hike for the great views, is it safe for a woman alone, best price for tandem hang gliding
thanks!
also, any info on golden gate park would be great.
If you drive up to the top, you will find plenty of parking. The steep ravine trail from Pantoll campground is a great trail as well as the Matt Davis coast trail. For the best views, drive to the east peak lookout. It is as safe as any mountain trail. In the past there have been a few instances of trouble up on the trails, but very few, plus there is always people and horse back riders around and rangers too. I don’t know a thing about hang gliding there or even if they allow it. For GG park, you can take a bus right to the park or drive and park near the zoo or down by the ocean or along 19th street area. Lots ot see and do there from fabulous rose gardens to a Chinese tea house to museums galore.

Mount Tamalpais Scenic Railway $19.7 A hundred years ago, high on the summit of Mount Tamalpais, stood a grand lodge with a breathtaking view. For 33 years, elegantly dressed men and women came to visit on the gritty steam trains of a famous twisting railroad known affectionately as the Crookedest Railroad in the World. They could dine, dance, and spend the night, and in the morning coast down the mountain in a gravity car. The Mount Tamalpais Scenic Railway had 281 curves in 8 1/5 miles. It had a branch into Muir Woods. It was built by business-minded conservationists in seven months in 1896 and climbed from a depot on the dirt streets of Mill Valley through a redwood forest and on to the rocky summit one-half mile above San Francisco Bay. |
