Dipsea Trail is one of the iconic paths across the flanks of Mt Tamalpais between Mill Valley and Stinson Beach. The route of a national race of endurance, this section between Muir Woods and Cardiac Hill is nicer than the parallel Deer Park Fire Rd, and will raise your heartbeat if taken uphill, but also if taken downhill because of it's beautiful views
