The Views on Tam

By Linda Tancs

One of the most prized assets in the San Francisco Bay Area, Mount Tamalpais State Park offers views as varied as the Farallon Islands, the Marin County hills, San Francisco Bay and the city, Mount Diablo and, on rare occasions, the snow-covered Sierra Nevada mountain range 150 miles away. Known locally as Tam, you’ll find miles of trails along the 2,500-foot-high mountain crossing redwood forests, oak woodlands, open grasslands and a shrubland community found primarily in California. Located just north of the Golden Gate Bridge, daily service is provided by the West Marin Stage Coach via route 61.
