THE ANCIENT REDWOODS OF MARIN & MT. TAMALPAIS- $55

See the World Famous Giant Redwoods Without the Crowds!

Walk among the iconic redwood groves of Marin, with pick-up and drop off at the Sausalito ferry landing (a 30-minute ferry ride from San Francisco's Ferrry Building.) Walks depart at 10:30am on weekdays (reservations required). This refreshing hike is a wonderful way to see these ancient trees in a primeval creekside setting. This hike captures the natural beauty of Marin at its best! Your guides are native San Franciscans and Marin locals with a deep knowledge of the region's natural areas and the ecology of redwood trees. This three-hour walk includes a leisurely stroll though the historic center of charming Mill Valley.

We will shuttle to our trailhead from here.
