+ About this map
Mount Tamalpais rises to 2,572 feet in the Coast Ranges of Marin County, the peak that defines the skyline north of San Francisco Bay. Its elevation is modest, but the mountain climbs from the Pacific to its summit in only a few miles, so it carries the presence of something far larger. Redwood forest fills the canyons on its lower slopes, including the old-growth groves of Muir Woods at its southern base.
The map shows a mountain shaped by water and fog. Contour lines fold into the deep stream canyons that drain toward the ocean and the bay, including the redwood ravines of the southern flank and the drainages that feed the reservoirs on the north side. The three summits of the crest, East Peak highest among them, sit atop a long ridgeline whose westward descent ends only at the sea cliffs above Stinson Beach.
