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.

1/3/01, CVR: The MMWD has given considerable attention to this trail in recent years, having installed many water bars and other drainage improvements. Nevertheless, it remains in need of much tread work. The trail receives heavy use and crosses difficult terrain--wet soil on steep slopes in deep forest. Hence, it is prone to rapid erosion. |

Sky Oaks-Lagunitas Trail (MMWD) |
|
6/25/02, CVR: Volunteers began the extension of this trail north to Taylor Trail as the 2001 National Trails Day project. MMWD staff completed the project soon after. Volunteers worked on the section descending the hill to "Redwood Turn" at the shore of Bon Tempe Lake as the 2002 National Trails Day project, installing check steps, a great volume of gravel to fill ditched sections, and water bars. MMWD staff then completed this work. |

10/9/01, CVR: This is the name we have applied to the short trail that ascends to the dam from the Lake Lagunitas Picnic Area, next to the spillway, and continues to the Lagunitas Southside Road. All of the steps need cleaning. The last set of steps, near the top, is eroding out at the bottom. One or two steps should be added at the bottom. A large ditch has opened next to the stone steps at the top of this flight; this should be filled. |

Steep Ravine Trail (MTSP) |
|
3/1/04, Jim Vitek & CVR: As of a few days ago, probably as a result of a major wind storm, tangles of trees have fallen across the trail in three locations between Pan Toll and the ladder. These are difficult barriers for hikers. Otherwise, this trail is lightly overgrown throughout, moderately so in a few places, but is fundamentally in good condition. A length of pipeline in the trail rising from the dam, where the trail coincides with Dipsea Trail, should be buried. |
|
1/29/01, CVR: The MMWD has recently placed signs stating that the lower section of Stocking Trail (between Bon Tempe Lake and Rocky Ridge Road) is closed due to hazardous conditions. The MMWD has done subtantial work on the upper section of the trail, to Kent Trail. However, many sections are moderately overgrown. Some of the railroad tie steps need additional work--water is eroding the soil around the ends of the steps, and the spaces in back of some of them need to be better filled in with soil. |
|
9/7/05, Bill Stevens & CVR: The TCC has done work on this trail a number of times in recent months. Most of it is in good condition. Short stretches need tread repair or widening to correct problems with the collapse of the edge of the trail. Some huckleberry thickets near Van Wyck Meadow need further brushing. |

Telephone Trail #1 (MMWD) |
|
7/21/00, CVR: The MMWD has abandoned this trail (if it was ever considered a maintained trail). It is very steep, parts of it dangerously precipitous. Much of the route is moderately overgrown, although the trail apparently has its fans who keep it minimally passable. Curiously, the very top of the trail is well constructed, with a number of railroad tie steps. Probably state park staff had this work done at the time many park trails were being rehabilitated by the Youth Conservation Corps and others in the 1970s. |
