Indian Tree Preserve
Sunday, November 9, 2025, 9am – 2pm
As we ascend the trails of this north-facing preserve we’ll pass through open grasslands, sandstone slopes covered in madrones, mixed evergreen forests, and lush canyons carpeted in ferns under towering redwoods. We might make it to the top for lunch, but that will depend on how many things catch our eye along the way. We'll get an early start because the trek to the summit is long, but worth every step. Total possible miles: 6.5. Elevation change: 1,300’. Remember to bring lunch, and binoculars if you have them. No pets are allowed, except for service/companion animals. Adverse weather or poor air quality may cancel. Registration is required.
Questions: Contact Shannon Burke
Directions: Meet at the trailhead on Vineyard Rd in Novato. From Hwy 101 in Novato, take the exit for San Marin Dr west 2.7 miles. San Marin Dr turns into Sutro Ave at Novato Blvd. Follow Sutro Ave 1 mile, turn right at Vineyard Rd, and follow 1 mile. Trailhead is on the left where the paved road becomes a dirt road.
