The Tennessee Valley/Muir Beach loop offers a truly diverse mountain biking experience, taking you from the valley floor to coastal ridges with stunning ocean vistas. You'll navigate a mix of singletrack and fire roads, passing by the unique Green Gulch Zen Center Farm and enjoying views of Mt. Tamalpais and Muir Beach. Expect varied terrain, from flowy sections to rocky, technical stretches, all set against the dramatic backdrop of the Marin Headlands.
This is a difficult 20.2-mile (32.4 km) mountain bike route with a substantial 3196 feet (974 metres) of elevation gain, typically taking around 3 hours and 26 minutes to complete. The climbs are steep and challenging, particularly on trails like Miwok and Middle Green Gulch, but the panoramic views from the Coastal View Trail make the effort well worth it. Plan your visit between March and May to catch the vibrant wildflowers.
What makes this loop stand out is its combination of incredibly diverse landscapes and a challenging, engaging ride. You'll experience the transition from lush valleys to open grasslands and dramatic coastal scrub, with the chance to spot wildlife like red-tailed hawks and coyotes. The blend of demanding climbs and fun, jumpy descents against a backdrop of iconic Pacific Ocean views makes this a standout mountain biking destination.
