- Paw Rating:
A windy path through the different terrains where your dog can run loose and enjoy the redwoods, creeks, ferns, and open vista views on the ridge in Mill Valley. No bikes allowed so pretty private. Occasional other hikers and some dogs but mostly you will have it all to your self. Follow Tenderfoot Trail to Cypress Trailhead for 3.5 miles of heaven and once you hit the paved road, take a right on Edgewood Avenue to the Pipeline Trail and then back down Tenderfoot to trailhead. Approximately 5 mile loop. Or continue on Edgewood to Mt. Home Inn for a cold beer on the deck. The trail beyond Mt. Home on the right is also dog friendly.
