According to a California State Parks Foundation poll, Mount Tamalpais State Park has been recognized as the top hiking destination among California's 280 parks. The poll aimed to introduce lesser-known parks to visitors, featuring categories such as dog-friendly, kid-friendly, and best for wildflower viewing. Rachel Norton, the foundation's executive director, emphasized the park's accessibility and beauty, noting how its diverse offerings cater to various preferences. While Mount Tam is well-known to locals, it serves as a hidden gem for visitors. China Camp State Park also earned recognition for its picnicking facilities.
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.
Mount Tam offers something for everyone. You like rocks? We got cool rocks. You like wildflowers? We've got lots of wildflowers.
China Camp State Park earned an honorable mention for best picnic spot, recognized in the same poll conducted by the California State Parks Foundation.
