Description

Mount Tamalpais soars high within the protected Mount Tamalpais State Park in the Marin County of California.

Overlooking the North Bay, the mountain is scared by jagged volcanic rock that has created a natural playground full of interesting climbs.

It is the highest peak of the Marin Hills, a collection of steep ridges and high peaks, and part of the larger California Coast Ranges, which stretch 400 miles.

Mount Tamalpais receives a diverse microclimate, which has cultivated a wealth of flora. This includes a large group of hardwood, grassland and wetland, a collection of oak and forests of coniferous and coast redwood.

The rocks here offer relatively easy climbing opportunities, which makes the mountain an ideal spot for learning the fundamentals of climbing, as well as developing your top rope and trad lead climbing.

With the majority of the climbs located on the east side, the region provides breathtaking views of the rest of the bay area.

Also, there is an observation tower that remains on the east peak, formerly part of an old hotel that sat on the mountains. From the tower you’ll capture stunning sunsets over the Pacific Ocean.

Guide cancelled within 48 hrs and I was unable to find someone else and so far I’ve not been refunded. Put a small dent in my otherwise great trip to Revelstoke.

Guide was very experienced and very patient with us. We learned alot and he tried to fit in all the knowledge he could in one day, super awesome. A little tough going back and forth to get the trip set up hard to tell if the site is sketchy until you see reviews but all worked out. Ended up with an awesome day with an awesome guide. Overall pretty satisfied and thankful!

Nate was very knowledgeable and got me to the top of mountain. He’s not as engaging as most of the guides I’ve had over the years. I’ve learned a lot about most of my climbs as guides talk about the mountain and the area maybe even plant and animals and I enjoy getting to know them better. We did talk a bit more on the way out of the trailhead. All in all a good experience. But not sure your company told him I had a knee replacement and would be slow.
