To get to Mount Tamalpais by car, cross the Golden Gate Bridge heading north on Highway 101, and take the Stinson Beach/Highway 1 exit. Follow the signs up the shoreline highway for about 2 1/2 miles, turn onto Pantoll Road, and continue for about a mile to Ridgecrest Boulevard. Ridgecrest winds to a parking lot below East Peak. From there, it’s a 15-minute hike up to the top. You’ll find a visitor center with a small museum, video, fun diorama, and store, as well as enthusiastic and informative “Mount Tam Hosts,” who are more than happy to help you plan a hike, identify plants, and generally share their love of the mountain. Visitor center admission is free; it’s open Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 4pm (standard time), and Saturday and Sunday 10am to 5:30pm (daylight saving time). Park hours are 7am to 6pm daily in winter; 7am to 9pm for about 1 month during the height of summer. Two-hour, 2-mile moonlight hikes, among many others, are offered -- call 415/388-2070 or log onto www.mttam.net for more information.
