Don't miss: The view from the King Mountain Loop

Description: This 193-acre preserve has shady trails with views of the Bay Area. You can take connecting trails into King Mountain, Mount Tam and Blithedale Summit. Trails skirt Larkspur Creek and feature a few seasonal waterfalls, including Dawn Falls. We hiked the King Mountain Loop Trail, which winds down into the canyon and has trails shaded by moss-lined redwoods and douglas firs. Most of the loop is shaded except for a short stretch as the trail climbs back up. From here, the trail opens up and yields views of the Richmond San-Rafael Bridge all the way to SF. You will cross brides and climb quite a few stairs to return to your starting point, and overall it's a beautiful hike. 
You can take the Citron Ladybug Trail down to Dawn Falls to continue your hike to the West.
