Chapel Steps to Bay Trail Hike

More of a stroll than a hike, you will be led under a grove of eucalyptus trees and to the retired Battery Yates along the coastline. This simple yet serene trek leads you up into the hills behind Fort Baker and down into Horseshoe Cove, providing picturesque views of the former military post, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the Bay. This walk is perfect for those wanting to experience a piece of Marin’s natural beauty without the workout.

Distance: 2 miles round trip
Difficulty: Easy
Time: Approx. 1 hour

  • $200 for up to 6 people; $20 for each additional person

Battery Spencer Hike

Hike under the Golden Gate Bridge and up to Battery Spencer, overlooking the ocean side of San Francisco Bay. Built in 1897 as part of the Harbor Defense of San Francisco, Battery Spencer was a concrete coastal gun battery for the U.S. Coastal Artillery. Now retired, this battery serves as a lookout point with some of the best views one can get of the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco.

Distance: 3 miles roundtrip
Difficulty: Low moderate
Time: 1.5 - 2 hours

  • $250 for up to 6 people; $20 for each additional person

Coastal Trail to SCA Trail

Saunter amongst California’s golden poppies or golden grasses, depending on the time of year, as you take the Coastal Trail westwards towards the Pacific. From Fort Baker, this hike is the launching point to the many trails running through the Marin Headlands, and may be longer if you decide to venture farther into the countryside or along the coast.

Distance:  3 miles roundtrip
Difficulty: Moderate
Time: Approx. 1.5 - 2 hours

  • $250 for up to 6 people; $20 for each additional person
Marin Hiking

Kirby Cove

Kirby Cove nestles at the foot of the Marin Headlands, just west of the Golden Gate Bridge. From Fort Baker, the hike up Conzelman Road and down through a grove of cypress, eucalyptus, and pine to the beach takes a little over an hour or so. At the cove, you will find a pristine wedge of coarse-sand beach with a fabulous view of the Golden Gate Bridge and northern San Francisco—and you might even spy a whale!

Distance: 4.5 miles roundtrip
Difficulty: Low moderate
Time: Approx. 2 - 2.5 hours

  • $300 for up to 6 people; $20 for each additional person

Slacker Ridge

Connect to this amazing peak from the Coastal Trail, and you will receive some of the best views of the Marin Headlands, San Francisco, the Bay, and the Pacific Ocean. Despite its name, this trail is hardly for slackers, as the last half-mile to the lookout boasts a steady incline. Reach the top, though, and you will see (weather permitting) the panorama that makes this journey worth it all!

Distance: 4 - 4.5 miles roundtrip
Difficulty: Moderate
Time: 2 - 3 hours

  • $350 for up to 6 people; $20 for each additional person

Rodeo Valley Trail to Bobcat Trail

Dip into the Rodeo Valley and fall into the trance of tranquility that this region can provide to a hiker. Along the way, you'll come across Red Tail Hawks flying overhead, and perhaps even a Mission Blue Butterfly perched on local lupine. At the peak of elevation along this particular trek, you will be rewarded (weather permitting, of course) with amazing views of the valley, Rodeo Beach, and the powerful Pacific.

Distance: 8.5 - 10 miles roundtrip
Difficulty: Moderate
Time: Approx. 5 hours

  • $400 for up to 6 people; $20 for each additional person
