Itinerary description

Show original
On this occasion I decided to go to know the paths of the California State Park: Mount Tamalpais.

Whatever belongs to everyone, in the US the paths are very well signposted and the parks are very well equipped (bathrooms, benches, camping areas, etc).

The tour began at Lake Alpine and continues along a somewhat steep path, but very well equipped with steps, railings and wooden bridges.

The summit (almost summit, because the area is restricted) was the West Peak of Cerro Tamalpais. This hill has three summits: East, West and Central.

The tour was a loop through the following paths:
* Cataract Trail
* Simmons Trail
* Bernstein Trail
* Mountain Theather
* Mountain Top Trail
* Arturo Trail
* East Ridgecrest Blvd (road)
* International Trail
* Colier Spring Trail
* Lower Northside Trail
* Cross Country Boys Trail
* Kent Trail
* Helen Markt Trail

For reference, you can see a schematic of the area at https://www.parks.ca.gov/pages/471

In short, highly recommended.
