Bolinas-Fairfax Road Closure

Road Closure Sign The Bolinas-Fairfax Road will be closed sometime in January to allow MMWD to do work on Alpine Dam.  The Monday, January 10 edition of the Marin-IJ reported that the road will be closed at the dam.

Dick Jordan spoke to the Sky Oaks Ranger Station on Monday and confirmed that the road will be open for our Alpine-Bon Tempe hike tomorrow, Tuesday, January 11.  However, the ranger staff has been told that the closure will occur by the Meadow Club which means that you will not be able to drive to the parking area for the Pine Mountain Fire Road (where we met for last week’s hike into the Elliott Nature Preserve).

If you are planning on driving the Fairfax-Bolinas Road in January you should call the MMWD Public Information number (415) 945-1438 to find out if the road is open.  (You can also try the Mt. Tam Watershed number, (415) 945-1181 which may have recorded information or allow you to speak directly to a ranger at Sky Oaks).
