Marin IJ: Mt. Tamalpais Hiking Acclaimed in State Parks Poll And Insider’s Guide to Mount Tamalpais Hiking, Camping and Beyond
The state’s park system has 280 parks and about 5,200 miles of trails. The poll, conducted this spring, garnered more than 1,300 responses from the foundation’s members and supporters. Rachel Norton, the executive director of the foundation, said the effort was about introducing places to people who might not know about them. The survey featured 10 categories, including best for dog-friendly adventures, best for birdwatching, most kid-friendly, best for camping and best for wildflowers. “To people in San Francisco and in southern Marin, Mount Tam is not a secret, but it could be to someone from Southern California who is visiting the area for the first time, or somebody from the East Bay who hasn’t been over the bridge in a while,” Norton said.

Margherita Sagan’s husband, Loring, is the cofounder and partner in Build, a firm that does residential development in San Francisco. He and Margherita recently bought a decrepit waterfront building in Mill Valley, at 242 Redwood Highway Frontage Road, where the Grateful Dead once practiced and still functions as the base for seaplane tours.

“Turning away thought, I fall into a relaxed pace of working for the painting, The pictures start to build themselves. One stroke leads to the next and hours pass. Marks and colors swarm around and in me to find their way on to the canvas. I have no expectation except the unexpected. Here outside of time, surprise follows surprise.
