BICYCLING IN WEST MARIN

Cycle Analysis
 
Some of our favorite trails...
 
Inverness Ridge
This exciting single track recommended for more experienced riders descends from the Mount Vision parking lot to Limantour Road. Steep and narrow but great views of Drakes Estero.
Marshall Beach
A good family ride; it starts on a paved drive just west of Tomales Bay State Park entrance. It goes uphill at first, and then levels out into a wide fireroad. The trail drops down steeply at the end, emptying into Marshall Beach, on Tomales Bay; a nice place for a picnic.
Bear Valley Trail
This easily managed dirt path climbs to Divide Meadows then descends to Arch Rock. Bikes must be locked up about 1 mile before the beach at Arch Rock and the trail completed on foot. The climb is gradual and shady and Divide Meadow makes for a great picnic spot.
Samuel P. Taylor
Separate from Point Reyes National Seashore is Samuel P. Taylor State Park, which has the Cross Marin Trail, starting at Tocoloma at the Platform Bridge Road. The path is paved, cool and shady and makes great riding for kids and beginners.
Bolinas Ridge
This trail has the best views of Tomales Bay and the surrounding areas. Although there are some tough climbs it is worth the effort for the view and the trip back down. Beginners will enjoy the mostly smooth track but may want to walk some of the steep hills and rutted patches.
