Marin Headlands & Mt Tamalpais

Mount Tamalpais rises 2,571 feet above the Golden Gate in Marin County, with redwood-filled canyons on one side and the open Marin Headlands and Pacific coast on the other. We spent our days here down in the old-growth redwoods of Muir Woods — the fern-lined creek, the trail winding among giant trunks and the hollow, fire-scarred trees — at the shaded foot of the mountain.
