Doyle Drive Closure: It’s Time for a Staycation in Mill Valley, ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ Style

Doyle Drive is closed July 9–13, which means that the area around the Golden Gate Bridge will likely be a no-go bottleneck for much of this weekend. This gives us the perfect opportunity to celebrate the 94941. 

From outdoor attractions that bring in visitors from around the globe and world-class arts & entertainment venues to outstanding restaurants and a retail scene that would rival many San Francisco neighborhoods, there’s no shortage of iterations of Staycation Mill Valley.

We’ve served up a handful of ideas below, taking a page out of the Choose Your Own Adventure books from the 1980s and 90s. Here’s the deal: from the options below, pick a breakfast, then an outdoor jaunt, then a lunch spot, then a place to shop, then dinner and then a night out on the town. Even better: share with us in the Comments below your own favorite “day trip” in Mill Valley, and why you love it so.

Bottom line: Let’s use the opportunity of Golden Gate Bridge gridlock to celebrate our town!
