"The Day Trip: Mount Tamalpais/Mill Valley Hiking Mount Tamalpais—and ooh-ing at the seemingly endless redwood trees, waterfalls, and famous 10-foot ladder—is a Bay Area rite of passage. This foliage-filled state park just north of the Golden Gate Bridge is a happy place for anyone who’s in the top 5% of Strava super-users. Climb to the peak, then head down to PizzaHacker in Mill Valley for excellent sourdough pies, like the Forbidden Fruit with jalapeños, red onions, and a generous amount of pineapple, on their back patio.
