The Verna Dunshee hiking trail is named after a leading activist who helped preserve open space for parklands in Marin County. The trail is wheelchair and stroller friendly, and dogs are allowed on leash. The trailhead is located at the parking lot near the visitor center, where you can find restrooms, picnic tables, and information. There is a parking fee of $8 per vehicle.

The trail is open year-round and is beautiful to visit anytime. The best time to go is on a clear day when you can see far and wide. The trail can get crowded on weekends and holidays, so try to go early or on weekdays. The trail is also a great place to watch the sunrise or sunset over the bay.

The Verna Dunshee hiking trail is a perfect introduction to Mount Tamalpais State Park, a majestic mountain that offers many more hiking opportunities for all levels. Whether you want to explore the redwood forests, oak woodlands, grasslands, or chaparral, you will find a trail that suits your taste.
