Marin's hilly interior provides shelter from chilly ocean breezes, except along the coast, where fog prevails during summer months. Generally, temperatures are moderate and vary little from season to season. San Rafael fluctuates between 30 and 55 degrees in January, and between 59 to 88 degrees in July. The County is usually thought of as suburban, a primarily residential and recreational area, with ranching and dairy in the more rural area of West Marin. The Pacific Ocean forms Marin's western boundary, with rugged coastlines, redwood forests and strong currents. The County's eastern boundary is the San Francisco Bay. The 520 square miles of Marin offer a wide variety of topography, climate and vegetation. From the tidal flats of the coasts to the slopes of Mt. Tamalpais State Park, from the dramatic cliff-sides to the gently lapping lagoons of Point Reyes National Seashore, the beauty and diversity of Marin County can be experienced and enjoyed by all. Marin is an easy commute to San Francisco via Golden Gate Transit commute buses, or via ferry service, available from Sausalito, Tiburon and Larkspur to the downtown financial district of San Francisco. Marin's health services include three modern hospitals: Marin General Hospital in Greenbrae, Novato General Hospital in Novato, and Kaiser Permanente in San Rafael. In addition to these general hospitals, there are fourteen convalescent hospitals. Shopping facilities of all varieties abound, from the very popular boutiques in Sausalito, Tiburon, Mill Valley, San Anselmo and Larkspur ~ to large modern shopping centers such as Strawberry's Town and Country Village in Mill Valley, The Gateway in Marin City, The Village at Corte Madera, Northgate Mall in San Rafael, and Vintage Oaks in Novato. With all the attractions of Marin County, the most outstanding is the variety of homes ~ traditional, ranch and contemporary blend into the surrounding hills. Mountains, forests, and water views create a picturesque area offering many desirable family oriented communities. 1 www.callandtitle.com 2 www.callandtitle.com BELVEDERE Belvedere is an island a mile long and less than one-half mile wide, connected to Tiburon by a causeway. Although the two towns have become very much alike, with their premier real estate prices motivated by spectacular views, they grew up differently. There were distinct differences between the towns; while Belvedere was home to the rich; Tiburon, in its days as home base for a railroad, was considered 'the other side of the tracks.' Belvedere celebrated its 100th year as a city in 1996. Marin's smallest incorporated community is also one of the most exclusive. There is just enough room for some of the most expensive homes in Marin and the historic San Francisco Yacht Club. Belvedere is a treasure trove of different architectural styles; from the tremendous Queen Anne and Mission Revival homes of the late 1800's to more modern Japanesestyle and Mediterranean villas. The two elementary schools and one middle school in the local Reed Union School District are rated in the top one percent among California schools. Belvedere, which translates in Italian to 'beautiful view', was well and aptly named, with exceptional views of San Francisco Bay, the Golden Gate Bridge, Angel Island, and Belvedere Lagoon. The beauty is quite breathtaking.

The area was used to supply lumber to build the San Francisco Presidio. By 1860 all of the old growth redwoods had been harvested and the hills were then used for ranching and dairy by a new generation of settlers. At the turn of the century Corte Madera had attracted a number of families from San Francisco who came for the summer. Christmas Tree Hill was subdivided in tiny 25' x 25' lots for use as tent sites on the weekends. After the 1906 earthquake, many of these tent sites were used to build permanent homes, where some of the tiny cabins remain to this day. Corte Madera became a town in 1917. Typifying the relaxed outdoor lifestyle of Marin with its pleasant climate, bordering wetlands, and lush open space, there is a strong community commitment to preserving the area's wildlife and habitat. This commitment to the environment is exemplified by the Corte Madera Reserve Sanctuary for Migrating Birds, the Shorebird Marsh wildlife habitat, and The Ring Mountain Preserve, located at the southeastern end of town, the preserve borders Corte Madera and the neighboring community of Tiburon. Home to three distinctly different malls, the town provides shopping as a favored pastime for guests and locals alike. Fine shops, unique boutiques, and a variety of excellent restaurants can be found at The Corte Madera Town Center, The Village at Corte Madera, and The Marketplace. Extending from San Francisco Bay on the east side to Mt. Tam on the west, Corte Madera illustrates the wonderful Marin County blend of nature along with all the amenities of city living.

Sais gave the area now known as the Marin Town & Country Club to Marin County's first physician, Alfred Taliaferro of Virginia, who subsequently passed the property along to fellow Virginian Charles Snowden Fairfax. Lord Fairfax, tenth Baron of Cameron, Scotland, moved here with his wife Ada in 1855, lured west by gold fever. After the death of Charles Fairfax, the property changed hands, eventually becoming the site of the renowned Pastori's Restaurant in the 1890's. Madame Pastori, once a singer at La Scala in Milan, Italy, was visited in Fairfax by many great figures in the opera world. The restaurant, which was rebuilt on a grander scale after a fire in 1911, still stands. Convenient railroad service early in this century made Fairfax a favorite weekend and summer retreat for city dwellers. Fairfax Park hosted thousands on weekends. Fairfax was the setting for dozens of early Western movies from 1910 to the early 1920's. Construction of Alpine Dam in 1917 brought a large Italian population to the area, adding to Fairfax's colorful history. Fairfax came of age in February of 1931 when the town was incorporated as a city with a five-member council government. Fairfax today, with a diverse population of 7,000, is a community of fine neighborhoods nestled in the hills and small valleys of the Upper Ross Valley. Located 16 miles north of San Francisco, within easy reach of numerous State and National Recreation Areas, Fairfax offers the best of both work and play while retaining its small-town atmosphere and charm.

An upper middle class to wealthy community, Kentfield is nestled at the base of Mt. Tam, bordered by Larkspur and Ross. The name "Kentfield" is taken from the family of Albert Kent, a Chicago meat packer who, along with his wife Adaline, settled in the area in 1872. Adaline donated twenty-three acres of land for a community recreation center; which later became the site for the College of Marin, which is part of the California Community College system. Albert and Adaline's son William, who became a U.S. congressman and an ardent conservationist, donated Muir Woods as a national park. The homes in this area are generally set well back from the streets which meander among pine, redwood and manzanita. The lowprofile roofs of these spacious homes, mostly set on large lots, are designed to blend in with the natural surroundings and offer a wooded, country feeling.

The downtown / Magnolia Avenue area is listed in the National Register of Historic Places as an irreplaceable American "turn of the century home town." Larkspur residents have been quite successful in preserving the small-town ambience. A medley of specialty shops, boutiques, Queen Anne Victorians, cafes and first-class restaurants can be enjoyed by taking a relaxing stroll down Magnolia Avenue. Not to be missed are the Escalle Winery, built in the 1890's by the young Frenchman, Jean Escalle, who planted the northern hillsides of Larkspur with wine grapes; and the exquisite Murphy mansion, constructed in 1888 and now home to the world famous restaurant, the Lark Creek Inn. Larkspur extends north to the unincorporated area of Greenbrae, home to the Bon Air Shopping Center, which offers boutiques, restaurants and gift shops. Greenbrae is well known for its tastefully landscaped custom homes, many of which have views of the bay, Corte Madera Creek and lowlands, and Mt. Tamalpais.

Subsequent to the acquisition of a large land grant in 1834, Reed built a sawmill in 1836 on Cascade Creek to provide wood for the construction of his house. The mill, which gave Mill Valley its name, is now restored and stands among the towering redwoods in Old Mill Park, a few blocks from downtown. Nestled at the foot of Mt. Tamalpais, only ten miles from San Francisco, Mill Valley became a favorite vacation spot for wealthy city dwellers. In 1896 a mountain railway, nicknamed "The Crookedest Railroad in the World," carried passengers from town to the mountain's summit and to Muir Woods. Although the tracks were removed in 1930, the Old Railroad Grade is currently very popular with hikers and bikers. Shortly after the town was incorporated in 1900 two town traditions began. The Outdoor Art Club was founded in 1902, a group whose purpose was, and still is, to preserve the beauties of Mill Valley. The Dipsea Race was first run in 1905 and has been held almost every year since. It is the second oldest race in the country, behind the Boston Marathon. The race is 7.1 miles long, from Lytton Square in Mill Valley over Mt. Tam to Stinson Beach. The Fall Arts Festival is one of the cultural events that occur in Mill Valley each year. It is the longest running festival in the County, celebrating its 41st year in 1997. The Mill Valley Film Festival, also held in the fall, draws thousands of film enthusiasts and artists from around the world. Bordered on three sides by the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, Muir Woods National Monument, Mt. Tamalpais State Park and watershed, Mill Valley offers spectacular recreational opportunities. But this is only part of its attractions. The people that have chosen to live here, from rock stars, artists, and nationally known authors, to business executives and political radicals; all are part of the eclectic mixture of talented folks who came for the pleasure of normalcy and anonymity to live in this incredibly beautiful and charming town. All who are interested in buying property in Southern Marin will enjoy the convenience of the Mill Valley office of Cal Land Title, located at 591 Redwood Highway, #2100.

In the town that bears his name, Ross built his home on the property that is now the Marin Art & Garden Center; a beautiful ten-acre site that, in addition to housing several nonprofit community groups, also offers many classes and activities. Also located here are the Ross Valley Players, the state's oldest repertory company. Trees, ponds, and gardens make the grounds a delightful place to visit. Shaded roads and lanes enhance this lovely town of grand estates and luxury custom homes. Large properties in park-like settings often have accommodations for horses, as well as tennis courts and swimming pools. Centered around the Ross Common is a small, very quaint commercial area featuring restaurants and shops. One enterprise, the Ross Grocery, has been operated by the same family since WWII. Residents are universally proud of, and offer support to, the local elementary school. In 1991, Child Magazine named Ross Elementary School as one of the top ten schools in the nation. The academic ranking is in the 99th percentile, the highest any school can achieve. Ross, often characterized as the suburban ideal, can easily be portrayed as a bastion of gracious living.

The downtown area is very "small town" in appearance, but offers a variety of shops and restaurants. In the 1870's, what is now known as The Hub in San Anselmo was the spot where a spur track to San Rafael was added to the Sausalito-Tomales run of the Pacific Coast Railroad. San Anselmo was incorporated in 1907. The most visible landmark in town, a beautiful stone castle that overlooks San Anselmo, is actually the San Francisco Theological Seminary, established in 1892 to train Presbyterian clergy. From the ivy covered chapel with its enchanting bell tolling the hours, to the turrets and towers, this beautiful facility has an ethereal, fairytale look. San Anselmo Avenue, the town's main shopping area, is a curving boulevard of awning-shaded shops, cafes, galleries, restaurants, and boutiques. Known as the "Antique Capital of Northern California," there are, within a halfmile radius of downtown, more than 150 antique dealers who attract collectors from all over the West Coast. Love of family and a sense of community are common bonds shared by those in the more affluent areas as well as by those in the more modest homes at the west end of town. The Annual Art and Wine Festival, the Antique Dealers Fair, and the Country Fair Day, are all very well attended by local citizens. San Anselmo also boasts one of the County's most successful community volunteer programs.

The mission is on 5th Avenue between Court and B Streets. Although the buildings are replicas, a treasure trove of historical artifacts can be seen in the museum. Marin's premier city, San Rafael, is the oldest and largest city in the County and it is also the seat of County Government. Marin's second most popular tourist spot (after Muir Woods), the Frank Lloyd Wright Civic Center, was the last major structure and the only government building designed by the world famous architect. It is now a national historic landmark. Other notable places to visit are China Camp State Park, which rims a picture perfect shoreline and is wonderfully secluded, yet only minutes from town; the lovely Dominican College Campus, founded in 1888; and the Falkirk Cultural Center, a handsomely preserved, 17room Victorian mansion that is set on 11 acres of formal grounds just a block from downtown. San Rafael offers a wide assortment of housing; from Peacock Gap's Golf and Country Club contemporary homes and condominiums overlooking the Bay, to spacious traditional homes in the prestigious Dominican section. California Land Title Company of Marin, originally founded in 1955 by Dr. Earl Young as Trans Western Title Company, has deep roots in Marin County. The company's main office is conveniently located at 700 Irwin Street. San Rafael has 14 parks, yacht clubs, outstanding docking and launching facilities, tennis / swim clubs and bicycle trails.

Condominium apartments offer marvelous views of San Francisco and the Bay. Regular ferry service from San Francisco makes the town easily accessible for both commuters and tourists. The Sausalito of today, a colorful waterfront town framed by steeply ascending hills, reminds many of a Mediterranean fishing village. Bounded on three sides by Richardson Bay and the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, it has grown little over the years, still occupying a land area of just 2-1/4 square miles. Located on the southeastern tip of Marin, just across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco, Sausalito was first settled in the mid19th century and incorporated in 1893, making it one of the oldest established communities in the North Bay region. This unique urban village has long been a popular visitor destination, known worldwide for its natural beauty, its incomparable arts community, the variety of unique shops and restaurants, and its easy accessibility from San Francisco by bridge and ferry. It is also a prized residential and business location, boasting temperate climate, old world charm, and some of the region's most spectacular views. Early Spanish explorers named the area "Sausalito" for the "little willow trees" they found growing along its streams and underground springs.

Average temperatures range from 40 to 74 degrees. 24 www.callandtitle.com TIBURON What is now the Tiburon peninsula was, in the beginning, home to at least fifty Indian villages. Shell mounds, petroglyphs on the rock face of Ring Mountain, and the occasional find of mortars and cooking stones are testimony to this portion of Tiburon's history. John Reed established his rancho on the lands where Mill Valley, Belvedere, Tiburon, San Quentin, and Corte Madera are now. In addition to his thriving cattle herds, Reed also established salt yards, a brickyard, and a stone quarry. In the 1880s, the coming of the broad-gauge railroad transformed the peninsula. The town was created as a result of the railroad, and a long line of ferries carrying passengers and rail cars the six miles across the bay to San Francisco. The first elegant homes were built, mostly by wealthy San Franciscans, as summer retreats. Main Street Tiburon was rebuilt twice after being laid waste by fire. Incorporated in 1964, Tiburon is now a beautiful enclave of historical landmarks, parks, worldclass restaurants and shopping areas. The residential architecture is a mix of small cottages, many of them beautifully remodeled, contemporary showplaces located in the hills with spectacular views, and sensational examples of engineering that jut out over the water. The San Francisco and Corinthian Yacht Clubs provide berths for hundreds of sailboats for local yachtsmen; public and private tennis and swimming facilities are also available to residents. Visitors from around the world come here to enjoy the natural beauty and many varied activities that this delightful harbor community provides. 25 www.callandtitle.com DEMOGRAPHICS Population (2000) ............................................. 8,666 Average household income (2000) .........$164,000 Median home price (April, 2004)……..$1,846,925 Sales Statistics Provided by Marin County Assessor’s Office IMPORTANT TELEPHONE CONTACTS City Hall................................................435-7373 Library ..............................................789-2665 Chamber of Commerce .......................435-5633 Post Office .........................................435-1041 Fire ........................................................435-7200 School District...................................435-7844 Police Dept. ...........................................435-7360 Parks & Recreation..........................435-4355 Water…………………………………..924-4600 Garbage……………………………..457-9760 Telephone…………………………800-310-2355 Cable (TCI)…………………….800-436-1999 Gas and Electric…………………..800-743-5000 Building Permits…………………….435-7380 Website: www.tiburon.org Housing Along with neighboring Belvedere, Tiburon is graced by some of the most expensive homes in the county. For the last several years, new subdivisions have sprouted in the hills leading into downtown.

The convenient ferry departs for San Francisco from the downtown dock. Public Safety: Tiburon has its own police and fire departments. Crime is low. Earthquake damage would be concentrated mostly around the Paradise Cay area of town. Parks and Recreation: Besides the grassy area near the harbor downtown, Tiburon has one major park, complete with a beach, picnic area and fishing pier. There are several public tennis courts in town. Belvedere-Tiburon Recreation Department offers plenty of youth programs. Amenities: Tiburon is a great dining town, with restaurants offering a wide variety of food and ambience. There are several small shopping plazas of boutiques and specialty stores, a movie theatre, churches as well as annual entertainment events.

Tiburon is right on the water, so it’s cooler than the cities inland, with average temperatures ranging from 40 to 74 degrees. 26 www.callandtitle.com WEST MARIN The West Marin area is, debatably, the most spectacular region in a county known for its scenic wonders. A truly rural section of Marin encompassing miles of open ridgetops, wild coast lines, and pastoral dairy farms, this area is home to such diverse wildlife as gray whales, tule elk, elephant seal, bobcat, fox, hundreds of bird species and the occasional mountain lion. Containing the Point Reyes National Seashore and the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, almost all of West Marin is protected. With the exception of Inverness, which is on the Point Reyes Peninsula, the coastal towns, from southernmost Muir Beach, going north through Stinson Beach, Bolinas, Olema, Pt. Reyes Station, Marshall and Tomales, dot Highway One all the way up to the Marin / Sonoma County border. The small inland hamlets of Nicasio, Woodacre, Forest Knolls, San Geronimo and Lagunitas are all unique and remarkably beautiful in their various settings that range from redwood forests to open grasslands and rolling hills. Muir Beach is a tiny enclave surrounded by GGNRA parklands. With the exception of the Pelican Inn, where residents and tourist alike go to dine, drink ale, and play darts, there are no commercial enterprises here (not even a gas station nor a grocery store). The residents seem to prefer it this way, holding very dear to their out-of-the-way lifestyle. Stinson Beach, the most often visited of the coastal towns, is home to a lovely, three-mile long beach which is well kept, clean and accessible. Swimming, surfing and sunbathing are the favorite activities here, but Stinson is also the finish line for the famous Dipsea Race. Right next to the beach is a wonderful park area with trees, lawns, picnic tables and barbecues available for day use. Bolinas, located just past the Audubon Canyon Ranch north of Stinson Beach, is a small town of about 1,100 residents; some of whom do their best to keep Bolinas a well guarded secret by continually removing the directional road-signs to the town. Bolinas is also home to Smiley's Schooner Saloon, the oldest, continuously operated saloon (this bar was open even during Prohibition) in California. 27 www.callandtitle.com Olema, holding the distinction of being the epicenter of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and currently the gateway to Point Reyes National Seashore, was once a roaring pioneering town with seven bars, a racetrack, and a stagecoach that brought visitors from San Rafael on the weekends.. Some of the old buildings still remain, including the Olema Inn, founded in 1876. Nicasio is a very small town located between Highway 101 and San Geronimo Valley. George Lucas, famous producer of "Star Wars," built Skywalker Ranch nearby as the headquarters for his film operations. Also to be found in the area a variety of estate homes on many ranches. The rural beauty of Lucas Valley makes for a pleasant drive for the patrons of popular Rancho Nicasio, who come from all over Marin as to enjoy country dining and dancing. Inverness, located on the west shore of Tomales Bay, was once a weekend retreat. Inverness is now home to many year-round residents that include artists, builders, tradespeople, and professionals who commute to the city. Although a few homes can be seen from the streets, most are tucked back among the trees. During the peak whale watching months of late fall to early spring, the numerous bed and breakfast establishments in and around Inverness are often full. Point Reyes Station had its beginnings as a railroad town when the first train came through on its way to Tomales in 1875. The railroad disappeared in 1933, and although Point Reyes Station is now the largest town in West Marin, it is still only three blocks long and a couple of blocks deep. Within this quiet little town, coffee houses, galleries, bookstores, antique shops and restaurants lend a cosmopolitan flavor. Marshall, Tomales, and Dillon Beach are popular tourist stops en route up the coast to Sonoma County. Marshall, which grew up as a resort for hunters and fishermen, today is well known for its oyster companies. Leaving the coast from Marshall and following the path of the long-gone trains, the road winds into Tomales. With many restored old homes and the steeproofed Lady of Assumption church, built in 1860, the Victorian charm of Tomales beckons. Driving north on Highway One, Dillon Beach is the last town before the Sonoma County border. The community was named after George Dillon; arriving in the 1880's, he was the first settler in the area. Today, Dillon Beach is popular for its wonderful beach, sport fishing, crabbing, and clam digging. 28 www.callandtitle.com Marin Calendar of Annual Events JANUARY Whale watching, southern migration Bridal Faire, Marin Center FEBRUARY American Indian Antique Art Show & Sale, San Rafael Spring Antique Art Show 472-3500 472-3500 MARCH Dining For Wildlife Marin County Spring Doll Show Inverness Spring Garden Club Tea, Pt.

Reyes Point Reyes National Seashore Bear Valley Visitor's Center (415) 663-1092 Point Reyes National seashore, where the land juts out to meet the ocean, gives visitors a feeling of stepping out to the end of the earth. Seventy thousand acres of awesome wilderness and graceful beauty include rich open meadows of wildflowers and windswept hillsides, and rocky coastline with thunderous surf and hidden beaches. Over 45% of the bird species in North America have been sighted, and nearly 20% of California's flora is represented on the peninsula. Bird watching, whale watching, horseback riding, hiking, and kayaking are favorite activities for both residents and visitors. Created in 1962 when President John F. Kennedy signed legislation to preserve the nation's dwindling undeveloped coast line for future generations, Point Reyes Seashore is both a natural and historic attraction for travelers from all over the world. One hour north of the Golden Gate Bridge, some of the special places to visit are the Bear Valley Visitor Center, Morgan Horse Ranch, Kule Loklo Indian Village, Point Reyes Lighthouse, Historic Pierce Point Ranch, Tule Elk Reserve, and Drakes Beach. Muir Woods National Monument Visitor's Center (415) 388-2596 Muir Woods National Monument, located 12 miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge in the lower slopes of Mount Tamalpais, is one of the Bay Area's last uncut stands of old-growth redwood trees some known to be 1,000 years old. Congressman William Kent donated the land to the Federal Government, insisting the parcel be named after conservationist John Muir, who called the woods "the best tree-lovers monument that could be found in all the forests of the world." John Muir also said, "Saving these woods from the axe and saw, from the money changers and water changers is in many ways the most notable service to God and man I have heard of since my forest wanderings began." Cathedral and Bohemian Grove contain the largest redwoods, the tallest is 252 feet and the thickest is nearly 14 feet across. Redwood Creek is home to seasonal trout and salmon. Opens daily at 8:00 a.m. Guided tours are available on weekends. 67 Golden Gate National Recreation Area Information (415) 331-1422 The 73,000 acre Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA), one of the nation's largest urban parks, works with the National Park Service to preserve wildlife and the natural beauty of this open space for future generations.

It provides spectacular views of Marin County, San Francisco, and the Golden Gate, as well as more distant views of the entire Bay Area. In addition, it is rich in historical significance. For thousands of years, it was used by Miwok Indians as a fishing and hunting site. For almost 100 years, stretching from the Civil War to the Cold War, the island housed a variety of military installations. It also played a major role in the settlement of the West, serving as the West Coast's equivalent of Ellis Island. Today, trails and fire roads criss-cross the land, providing easy access to the entire island, including its many historic sites and breath-taking views. Angel Island can be reached by commercial ferry service from Tiburon, San Francisco, and Vallejo. Picnicking, visiting historic sites and buildings, camping, hiking, biking, fishing, sunbathing, and enjoying an audio tour on a tram ride around the Island are some of the varied opportunities available to visitors. Mount Tamalpais State Park Information (415) 388-2070 Mount Tamalpais (Tamal-pie-us) State Park, located in the heart of Marin County, is just north of the Golden Gate. With its dramatic combination of urban and natural scenery, the view from the 2,571' peak is among the most spectacular of its kind in the world. One can often see the Farallon Islands some 25 miles out to sea, and occasionally it is possible to look inland, across the Central Valley to the snow-crested Sierra Nevada, some 200 miles away. The well maintained trails of "Mount Tam" are one of its greatest attractions. More than fifty miles of trails lie within the park and connect to an even larger system of trails (200 miles) on adjacent public lands. Deep canyons filled with solemn redwood groves alternate with chaparral-covered ridges, grassland, oak woodlands, and other natural environments. The park features a variety of campgrounds that are open all year (reservations required). 68 Tomales Bay State Park Information (415) 669-1140 Tomales Bay State Park is located on the eastern edge of the Point Reyes Peninsula, forty miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Picnicking, swimming, hiking, clamming, and boating are popular activities within the park. China Camp State Park Information (415) 456-0766 China Camp State Park is located on the southwest shore of San Pablo Bay, just three miles from downtown San Rafael. Visitors usually stop first at the site of the old village. It is the historical center of the park and offers a variety of recreational activities. A small museum exhibit is open daily and provides information on the history of China Camp, which was one of the twenty or thirty fishing villages that once dotted the shore of San Francisco Bay. The history of the Chinese and of their culture in California are an integral part of the park. Several historic structure have been preserved and along with the museum exhibit, make it easy for visitors to imagine a way of life that has been generally forgotten in California history. The 1,512-acre park has a variety of natural scenery and some fine trails along San Pablo Ridge that feature magnificent panoramic view of the north bay area including San Pablo Bay, the north bay counties of Napa, Solano, and Sonoma, the East Bay Hills, Mount Diablo, Angel Island, the San Francisco Peninsula, and Mount Tamalpais.

Hikers, bicyclists and equestrians can travel trails along inter-tidal, salt marsh, meadow, and oak habitats, and even some small redwood groves that are home to a variety of wildlife. Camping facilities and day use picnic areas are also available. Olompali State Historic Park Olompali State Historic Park, located 2-1/2 miles north of the City of Novato and 35 miles north of San Francisco, is a 700 acre park featuring several historic buildings, including the Camilo Ynitia Adobe, registered as a California Historical Landmark and on the National register of Historic Places. In addition to historic sites and buildings, the park offers beautiful views of the coast mountain ranges, the Petaluma River basin and San Francisco Bay. The Coast Miwok inhabited at least one site within the area of the present-day park continuously since about 500 A.D. By 1300 A.D. it was a major Miwok trade center. Archaeologists have found tens of thousands of artifacts within the park area. Perhaps the most spectacular of these discoveries was an Elizabethan silver sixpence dated 1567, one of the earliest known artifacts representing contact between European and North American Native American cultures. Visitors enjoy hiking, picnicking, horseback riding and touring the historic grounds. 69 Samuel P. Taylor State Park Samuel P. Taylor state Park is located just north of San Francisco in the steep rolling hills of central Marin. The natural landscape of the 2,882acre park includes some sharp contrasts. Along the canyon bottoms and up the north-facing slopes there are cool, shaded, fern-filled groves of coast redwoods. A wonderful variety of flowers and lush green ground covers thrive in these groves. On the canyon's dry north side is a more open grassland area where oak, tanoak, madrone and other hardwoods are the dominant trees. Black-tailed deer, raccoons, skunks, gray foxes, and a variety of other small animals are often seen, while badgers and bobcats are seen occasionally. Turkey vultures, kestrels, red tailed hawks, and other large raptors soar wild and free over the rolling countryside. Samuel Penfield Taylor arrived in California in 1849, seeking his fortune in the gold rush. By 1852, he had acquired 6,173 pennyweight of gold dust ($5,691.99 worth) which gave him his start in California. Taylor entered the lumber business and purchased 100 acres of timberland along with what is now Papermill Creek within the present state park. However, Taylor did not go into the logging business. Instead he built a paper mill with a paper making process that utilized only scrap paper and rags gathered from San Francisco and other coastal towns. In 1874, when a narrow-gauge railroad was built through the canyon, Taylor built a resort hotel beside the new railroad, and opened Camp Taylor, one of the first areas in the United State to offer outdoor camping as a recreational pursuit. Today the park offers hiking, biking, and equestrian trails, camping and picnicking facilities, in addition to the Devil's Gulch Horse Camp. County Parks Parks & Open Space…..(415) 499-6387 John F.
