Mt. Tam Mountain Bike Trails

The Mt. Tamalpais (Mt. Tam) area of Marin provides over 50 miles of great mountain bike trails.  Don’t miss loops that include some of the trails that made the area famous, such as Old Railroad Grade and Hoo-Koo-E-Koo.  No mountain bike trip to the area is complete without summiting the East Peak of Mt. Tam.  For an easier ride, try either the Eldridge-Fish Gulch Quick Loop or the Shaver-Lake Lagunitas-Eldridge Loop.  Here are a few more great Mt Tam Rides:

Mt Tam Summit - Eldridge-Hoo-Koo-E-Koo Loop - 19.1; +3198' (Ross)
