About this place

Added by Outbound

See unbeatable views of the bay from the vantage point of Marin County's nature trails and challenge your endurance on a beautiful hike through California grassland.

Park at the lot in the China Camp State Park. Hop onto the Bay View trail to gain to begin the loop trail. Switchbacks take you up to a long and easy path passing through shaded and open areas. Enjoy the grasslands speckled with oak trees and coyote brush. You can see the San Rafael bay and bridge from the ridges of China Camp State Park. Take the Oak ridge trail after several miles to return to your starting point. This trail is great for MTB as well. If you're hiking, make sure you keep an eye out for oncoming bikers.

Warning: be aware of ticks and do a full-body check when you get home.
