The Marin Headlands has an amazing richness of history and biological diversity.
The Marin Headlands is known for its unique geology, its fog-swept coastal prairie ecosystem, and its many chapters of history. Dramatic cliffs of oceanic rock offer sweeping views of the Golden Gate Bridge, and the foghorn frequently resounds over the misty lagoon and rolling hills of coyote brush and sage. The Headlands’ human history is long and layered – originating with the Coast Miwok peoples who have lived here for thousands of years and evolving to become a hotspot for coastal defense through the Cold War. Today, we welcome international and local visitors, jr. rangers, hikers, surfers, students, birders, geologists, historians, and researchers. We hope you find a way in which your own lives and passions intersect with the themes underlying the story of this park.

Just north of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, Mount Tamalpais State Park rises majestically from the heart of Marin County. Its deep canyons and sweeping hillsides are cloaked with cool redwood forests, oak woodlands, open grasslands, and sturdy chaparral.
The breathtaking vistas from Mount Tamalpais’s upper mountain include the Farallon Islands 25 miles out to sea, the Marin County hills, San Francisco Bay and City, the East Bay, and Mount Diablo. On rare occasions, the snow-covered Sierra Nevada Mountain Range can be seen 150 miles away.
The park offers superlative hiking, picnicking, wildlife watching. Up top, on most weekends volunteers at the East Peak Visitor Center provide information, sell merchandise and snacks. Volunteers at the nearby Gravity Car Barn relate the stories of the old Mount Tamalpais Scenic Railway. A couple of miles below, a beautiful outdoor theatre, the Mountain Theater, hosts outdoor plays and astronomy programs.

Russian Hill
Russian Hill is best known for Lombard Street, otherwise known as the ‘crookedest street in the world’, but there’s more to this upscale neighborhood than this. Breakfast joints, locals’ favorite bars and sunny restaurants can be found along bustling Polk Street, which leads from the Tenderloin through Russian Hill down into Ghirardelli Square. Easy access to convenient cable car stops and steep hills offering stunning views of Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge and the Bay Bridge make Russian Hill an ideal area for sightseeing.

Outer Richmond
Running between The Presidio and Golden Gate Park, Outer Richmond is a sleepy neighborhood that, despite being primarily residential, offers some of San Francisco’s best outdoor destinations at its Western end. The upscale, oceanside Cliff House restaurant and bar overlooks the ruins of the historic Sutro Baths, while Land’s End is a popular hiking and walking trail that provides some of the best views of the Golden Gate Bridge that the city has to offer. To the north sit the mansions of Sea Cliff, home to tech moguls, CEOs and venture capitalists. Russian and Chinese enclaves provide authentic dining options, and most restaurants and bars are low-key neighborhood favorites. Outer Richmond doesn’t typically draw a large crowd, but the hidden gems and laid-back, beachy vibe make it worth a visit.
