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.

Ended up booking a one-night-and-one-day hike summiting Mt Shasta because Mt Rainier was booked out.

I really loved it. Intro to rock climbing was an amazing experience. Explore-share team were so helpful in the process. The trip that I chose in the first place was not available and they managed to find alternatives and offer me the best possible solution in that situation. In the end I had a wonderful day and could not be happier!

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.

It would have been helpful to know it was suppose to be a Matterhorn prep course. The goals of the group were a little different.

I was very glad to have the Back country ski tour in Montata by following reasons. 1. I had quick replies from my coordinator and guide whenever I asked something; 2. My guide was cool. 3. The tour was well-planned and appropriate duration. 4. Snow was in a good condition. Thank you!!
