Mount Tamalpais State Park

Mount Tamalpais State Park extends across 6,300 acres of redwood forests, grasslands, and coastal scrub near San Francisco Bay.

The California Department of Parks and Recreation established this protected natural area in 1976 to preserve the ecological diversity of Mount Tamalpais.

The Mountain Theater, constructed in the 1930s from natural stone, seats 4,000 people and hosts annual spring performances of the Mountain Play.

The park maintains 60 miles of hiking trails that connect to a broader 200-mile network through neighboring public lands.

From the 2,571-foot summit, visitors observe a 25-mile radius encompassing San Francisco, the North and East Bay, and the Farallon Islands.
