Tennessee Valley/Green Gulch

Sunday, August 31 | 9:00am to 3:00pm

Rating: A moderately strenuous 8-mile hike with about 2000 feet of elevation gain. (There will be two steep climbs up Coyote Ridge).

Notes: This hike begins in beautiful Tennessee Valley, once the site of a bitter battle over development but now preserved as a national park. Our route takes us up the Miwok trail to Coyote Ridge and then down to Green Gulch, an operating organic farm. We’ll tour the farm before we hike back to the Tennessee Valley trailhead.

Leader: Jonathan Marshall

How to get there: Tennessee Valley Trailhead in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.

From Highway 101 in Marin County, take the Highway 1/Shoreline Highway exit. After about 0.5 mile, turn left onto Tennessee Valley Road. Go about 1.5 miles to the parking lot at the end of the road.
