Hiking Trails For Those Who Prefer Hiking without Bicycles

Nov 22

We get that some hikers prefer bike-less trails. Fortunately, MMWD provides 60 miles of trails for those hikers. Here are some examples.

Phoenix Lake: To avoid the popular fire road, Ross Trail can be accessed from the intersection of Lagunitas and Glenwood or from the parking lot at Natalie Coffin Greene park. The trail climbs along the south side of the hill until it reaches the Bill Johnson Road. From there, hikers can turn left and reach the start of Tucker and Harry Allen trails or the Gertrude Old trail that hugs the south side of Phoenix Lake and leads to the west end of the lake. Hikers can then cross the main fire road, and take Yolanda trail and its offshoot for their return to the Ross Trail, with only a short walk along the fire road. Almost all of this route is bike-free. It is scenic and provides solitude and wonderful views of the lake and Mt. Tam.
