Hiking
This trail can be the starting point or end to a nice hike through the preserve, connecting to the Terra Linda Trail and several other side trails. It is a great way to explore the beautiful grassland and broadleaf forest surrounding several San Rafael residential communities. The route travels through coast live oak and California bay trees, with many California poppies and wildflowers on the rolling hillsides. On a clear day, there are fantastic views of Mount Tamalpais and Big Rock Ridge, with San Pablo and San Francisco Bay in the distance.
