@Bronwyn The terrain is very rugged but the backside of #MuirWoods is more readily accessible from #MillValley than are the #MarinHeadlands or #MtTam.
Do a terrain/sat search of the area on Google Maps to see if that's something you'd want to consider doing instead.

#AlpineLake was one of my favorite hiking spots in Marin. You can just take a leisurely hike around the lake or use it for a take off point to hike up & around the mountain. Haven't been back since I moved to the East Bay & I miss it. Walking round the #LafayetteReservoir sucks in comparison.
here's another pic of Mt Tam from last night, before the rain came.

I mean, it does look like the actual drive… but entire month to render that is …well 90’s computers weren’t much better
It is the best single lane twisty road to drive in Bay Area, if it’s empty #muirWoods #MtTam #PtReyes #StinsonBeach #Mankas #elk
280 from Palo Alto to SF is the best highway to speed on as you can see cars 10 miles back
Again, if very few or no cars around which is probably not possible anymore:(

Does anyone know the station name or link to the weather station on top of Mount Tamalpais #mttam? I’ve never been able to figure it out, but I’d like to be able to track conditions and historical rainfall up there. I see it reported all the time, so I know it’s there … it just eludes me. #cawx #wx #marin
