Description:
Picturesque Marin Headlands combines great trails, incredible scenery, wildlife and the convenience of being just a few miles from San Francisco. With grass-and-scrub covered ridgetops opening up to beautiful ocean and city views, these trails are heavily used by a variety of groups. Please use caution and obey posted signs to help maintain the fragile peace that exists in Marin among trail user groups.

The headlands' moderately steep fire roads and wide single-track trails are perfect for strong intermediate riders. Intrepid beginners might want to tackle the first featured ride or the very flat Tennessee Valley Trail, while hardcore riders looking for a challenge may need to ride elsewhere.

The featured rides both begin from Tennessee Valley Road. However, it is also possible to reach the area from the Golden Gate Bridge via Bunker Road.

Directions to trailhead(s):
The main parking is located just 15 minutes' drive north of the Golden Gate Bridge at the end of Tennessee Valley Road. From Highway 101, take the Highway 1 exit heading north. Tennessee Valley Road is a quick left off Hwy 1. Access to trails also from Bunker Road and Muir Beach.
