Marin County is home to a plethora of outdoor adventure opportunities including hiking and biking trails, beaches and lighthouses spread across the diverse public lands within Muir Woods National Monument, Mount Tamalpais State Park, Point Reyes National Seashore, Tomales Bay State Park, and the 2,100 acres of the Marin Headlands. Though some of these areas can get crowded on weekends, there are also plenty of trails that are comparatively less traveled. Here are a few of our favorites.
