While you are welcome to join any of the MTIA guided hikes, you may wish to hike on your own.  There are several hundred miles of trails in the State Park and adjacent areas such as the Marin Municipal Water District for you to explore.

If you’d like some suggestions for hikes, we have .pdf files of several to help you get started in the Hike Suggestions section below.

Because there are so many trails on Mt Tamalpais, we strongly recommend you bring a map with you.  There is a map at the bottom of the Maps page of our web site, which you can get to by clicking here.  You may purchase maps at the kiosk at Pantoll Ranger Station or at the East Peak Visitors' Center.  Or you may find them at your local camping store.
