Miwok Trail Trailhead, Mill Valley CA

Unbelievable scenery, truly exciting to be in such a wonderful place. Full of wonder! However, keep in mind: you will not have enough time to enjoy everything out there at once, so plan the day! Especially if you're going to attempt the Tennessee Valley Beach expedition; from the nearest trailhead (on bike) it takes more than an hour-and-a-half for most people, each way, so you need plenty of time. Whatever you do, it is worth it and full of incredible photo opportunities.

I was here on 5/30/20.
Parking lot was closed.
I had to parked at Rodeo Avenue and 101 south.
It was over 11 miles round trip for me.
I was hiking from Rodeo Avenue up about 1 mile with 500ft of the elevation change to Bobcat trail and Miwok trail, it is so many different trails up hill, I was hiking down to Tennessee Valley and Tennessee Beach and come back, it was about 2,200 ft gain,
it is the most spectacular view of the mountains, incredible view of the ocean and indeed of the city.
I had everything in one hike.
I was able to see Oakland Bay, Tiburon, GGB, SF bay.and a lot more.
At Tennessee beach I was climbed up 800 ft to vista point.
It is the most amazing relaxing view I haven’t never seen, since no one was there.
I will come back here again for HILL 88.
Happy hike everyone,

Nice challenging trail. Wildflowers. Open to dogs and mountain bikers.

Truly breathtaking- literally! It’s a great hike to burn calories and take in ocean and valley views. Bring the pups!

BRING: Water for all (you're in the sun the whole time if you're lucky), sunscreen, and doggie bags (you'll have to carry it all the way out, but it's better than stepping in it the next time you visit, right?)

Had a random Thursday off so I decided to explore the park at Marin Headlands with my dog. With miles of voice command off-leash trails, this park area is amazing, beautiful, and free. From the visitor center, we did the Lagoon - Miwok - Coastal Trails loop for a total of about 5-6 miles and moderate amounts of "up" along the way. We putzed around and stopped a lot for photos and played fetch at Rodeo Beach, even then the whole loop took only about 2 hours. We encountered only 3 other groups on the Miwok, the Coastal trail has a closer parking lot and also more people around the battery and the top, but still surprisingly uncrowded for a nice hike this close to the city.

The more boring trail of the bunch. It's a wide fire road that runs almost all uphill. Clean road, none the less. Quite a workout getting around the hills to the Coastal Trail. Dogs are permitted but must be on a leash.
