Mountain Home to West Point Inn Hike (11/6) Preview

Sun Above, Fog BelowWe haven't done this loop hike from Mountain Home up to West Point Inn (bring some cash if you want coffee, lemonade, hot chocolate or other snacks) for so long that it's not previously been covered in the Meandering blog.

Directions to trailhead: Take the Stinson Beach/Highway 1 exit off Highway 101. Go west through Tam Valley and up onto the ridge. Turn right onto Panoramic Highway and follow signs to Mt. Tamalpais. Drive about 4 miles. When you reach Mountain Home Inn on your right, park in the parking lot across the road on your left.

50 minutes from College of Marin. Carpoolers can meet at the Greenbrae Park & Ride lot at 9:00 am.  Outhouse at trail head, restrooms at West Point Inn lunch stop.

Weather forecast: As of Wednesday, October 31, the National Weather Service forecast for the hike was sunny, with a high near 83. (Click here for an updated forecast.)

More on this hike:  Hike "B10 "Old RR Grade to West Point Inn" in the Martin's book, Hiking Marin, shows the area where we’ll be hiking, although the route we take may differ. The trails are also shown on the Mount Tamalpais map and the Mount Tamalpais State Park brochure.
