Ring Mountain Open Space Preserve, has some unique characteristics to offer. As you climb the grassy slopes fantastic views of Mount Tamalpais, the bay, and San Francisco are all visible. Trails wind through rock formations, across tiny creeks, through wildflower-dotted hillsides, and under old coast live oaks and California bays. Petroglyph Rock, near the preserve’s highest spot, has rock carvings created by Native Americans. And the unusual geology of the preserve supports plants that grow nowhere else, most prominently the Tiburon mariposa lily, which blooms in May. Join Family Adventures in exploring this beautiful gem of an open space. Note: There are no bathrooms at this site.
