State Park Volunteer docents at the Visitor Center share their love of the mountain by helping you plan a hike, identify a plant, give directions or guide you through Mt Tam history.

Plan on spending an hour exploring East Peak.

Here are some tips to enjoy your visit:

• Enjoy the spectacular views on the wheelchair-accessible loop of the Verna Dunshee trail that takes you a full 360 degrees around the mountaintop.
• Hike up to the Fire Lookout and see where local rock climbers practice their sport.
• Walk over and relive history at the Gravity Car Barn Museum where docents show you how train passengers used to coast down the mountain.

You’ll also find:

• Maps, books, apparel, and souvenirs for sale; a portion of all proceeds go to the park for maintenance and preservation.
• Interpretive displays to help connect visitors with the natural and cultural resources found at the park.
