Mount Tamalpais East Peak

Beautiful views! Driving up to the parking lot is scary and made me so dizzy. It was also scary because there are so many bicyclists. Once you get to the lot, it's a short climb up the path to the peak. I'm terrified of heights so the worst part was being so close to the edge the whole time. The path and climbing up wasn't that bad physically though. Coming down, we accidentally came down a path that was roped off at the bottom but we didn't know we weren't supposed to go that way since it wasn't roped off at the top. It was way easier coming down that way though, especially because it wasn't on the edge. I 10/10 recommend going here!

Beautiful! Lots of parking if you drive up here. $8 per car. But also wonderful hiking trails and great place to cycle. Bathrooms and water available

Great views, but you can’t get into the ranger station. Incredibly windy when we visited it as it’s fully exposed, but still a good break point. There are nicer things to see and do here, so this shouldn’t be the end-all destination for you, but still worth a pass.

Allow 2 hours stay for sunset pictures. Park at Visitors Center. Strenuous hike for 20 minutes to reach the East Peak tower. The scenery is well worth it. If you're lucky, you'll even get to see the colorful sea of clouds, from above.
