Tips from the community
Catching the sunset at San Francisco’s Mount Tamalpais’ East Peak requires a 1.5-hour drive and a 1.3 mile round-trip hike, but the view is more than worth the effort (plus the drive along Panoramic Highway alone makes the trip worthwhile). From the parking lot, you’ll climb up for about .6 miles to the 2,570-foot peak: the highest point on Mount Tam. You’ll land literally above the clouds, making for an unparalleled sunset experience.
