CANCELLED: Explore our New Trails

We’ve made some significant improvements to the trail system in the Gary Giacomini preserve. Join a ranger to explore this beautiful preserve and see some of the work that’s been done here. We’ill start at Manzanita Fire Road and then head up to the ridge to explore some of our newly opened trails. We’ll proceed down Boulder Springs Trail to Contour Trail and down into Candelero Canyon Trail. The hike will be approximately 4.5 miles. Degree of difficulty: Moderate. Dress in layers and wear sturdy shoes. Don’t forget to bring water and snacks. We request that no pets (except service animals) attend. High fire danger cancels: Call (415) 473-7191 to get an update on fire danger status and land closures. If a "Red Flag" warning is in effect, all walks and events on Open Space District preserves are cancelled. Questions: Contact Ranger Blain Thompson at BThompson@marincounty.org or (415) 473-2816.
