For information on upcoming trail days, please visit our News and Events Page. Condition Reports This page is a compilation of reports on conditions and maintenance needs of Mount Tamalpais trails. The TCC's Trails Committee maintains this page as a service to hikers, and for use in planning future trail maintenance projects. We rely upon you, the users of the mountain's trails, to provide information on trail conditions. There are well over 100 miles of hiking trails on the mountain. We cannot be everywhere at once. Please take the time to send us any information you do not see already posted on this page. We would appreciate reports of any maintenance needs you see, and also reports of any trails you find to be in good condition. Our goal is to provide comprehensive information on all trails. Scroll down this page to see the list of reports. The area covered is generally the same as included in Barry Spitz' book, Tamalpais Trails. This area is bounded by Highway 1 through Green Gulch to the southeast, and by Bolinas-Fairfax Rd. and Audubon Canyon Ranch to the northwest. This page also covers a small part of the Pine Mountain area. To submit a report, please click here and fill out the form.

Cross Country Boys Trail (MMWD) |
|
5/28/03, CVR: The part of this trail south of Kent Trail, at least, is somewhat overgrown although still easily passable. |
|
Dias Ridge Trail (MTSP & GGNRA) |
|
3/30/06, Dhananjay Naniwadekar & CVR: Much of this trail is suffering from a severe soil erosion problem, stemming from the fact that it is an old fire road laid out with no drainage features. State park ranger Tom Frazier reports that the national and state park administrations are in the process of addressing the issues. They plan to reroute the road in areas, to address the poor drainage, to narrow the tread to 48 to 60 inches, to deconstruct the old road where the drainage is especially poor, and to have the trail ultimately link up with the Coastal Trail. This plan is still in its infancy. |

Old Mill Park to Panoramic Highway (Town of Mill Valley): Panoramic Highway to Muir Woods (MTSP and NPS): Muir Woods to Coastal Fire Road (MTSP and NPS): Coastal Fire Road to Steep Ravine (MTSP): 9/5/01, CVR: This section is mostly in good condition. Parts would benefit from minor brushing. Some of the steps need to be cleared of soil, and in places measures need to be taken to stop runners from bypassing steps by traveling along the edge of the trail. Steep Ravine to Stinson Beach (MTSP and NPS): 10/9/01, CVR: The TCC has recently done some work on the section of trail rising from Steep Ravine to the fire road that branches off Panoramic Highway. This could use a little more brushing and some minor tread repairs. A length of pipeline in the trail rising from the dam in Steep Ravine should be buried. The National Park Service has recently rebuilt the last bit of trail from Panoramic Highway to Highway 1, but it remains closed as of this writing. |

East Peak Fire Trail (MMWD) |
|
7/21/00, CVR: The MMWD has abandoned this trail, although it is not signed as closed. Much of it is heavily overgrown, although it apparently has its fans who keep it minimally passable. Sections are very steep. |
|
10/2/03, CVR: This spur off the Temelpa Trail is an attractive route for ascending to Hoo-Koo-E-Koo Road and Wheeler Trail. Much of the route was moderately brushy, until unknown persons pretty thoroughly brushed it out in the early months of 2003. The job could have been done more neatly, however, so quite a few stumps and snags should still be removed. The tread is in need of only minor repairs, and follows a gentle grade except right at the intersection with Hoo-Koo-E-Koo Road. |
|
12/19/01, CVR: The upper part of this trail is generally in good condition. Some of the rock water bars need repairs. Gary Bischof began a project to line an inside ditch with rock, at the stream crossing a short distance below Mountain Theater. This project has not yet been completed, although the inside ditch is functioning reasonably well in its present condition. Parts of the lower end of the trail, particularly below the Riding and Hiking Trail, are having moderate erosion problems from runoff, and need additional water bars. The Easy Grade Spur (left and down to Old Stage Road) is comparable to the main trail, and is showing no significant problems. |
|
2/17/02, Bob Muller: The long bridge over Fern Creek (at the bottom of the Lost Trail) recently came down. The trail from the bridge to Camp Alice Eastwood is closed. |
