An unpaved road, mostly downhill, runs along the crest of Bolinas Ridge, and from its heights, you have magnificent views of the sparkling ocean, Tomales Bay, Point Reyes Peninsula, tree-covered ridges, deep canyons, oak-dotted hills, and distant peaks.
On Bolinas Ridge, you travel through damp forests on soft and springy leaf duff; wind through tall chaparral on bare, rocky sandstone; and cross open, cattle-grazed grasslands. After descending to Lagunitas Creek, the shaded
Cross Marin Trail is paved from Platform Bridge southeast through Samuel P. Taylor State Park.
Weather and temperature vary: On Bolinas Ridge, long, exposed stretches of the trail can be windy, hot, or foggy. For bikers, the Bolinas Ridge Trail can be bumpy and rutted.
