"Friends of Tamarancho" Mountain-Biking

High on Fairfax Ridge, the forests and meadows of Camp Tamarancho often receive much more precipitation than elsewhere in the Bay Area.  As a reminder, always let the trails dry for several days following each seasonal rainstorm event to minimize rider damage and erosion on the muddy trails.

"When it rains, let it drain!"

In the interest of our community Public Health to combat the spread of CoronaVirus when using all Camp Tamarancho trails, PLEASE ADHERE TO THE FOLLOWING:

  • You must ride the main trails loop in a clockwise direction only;
  • Follow proper social-distancing measures during this aerobic activity;
  • Always ride in control of your bike and be safe on the narrow trails.

The Marin Council, BSA operates Camp Tamarancho high in the hills above the town of Fairfax.  In partnership with the Friends of Tamarancho local volunteer group, we provide many miles of challenging and well-maintained mountain-biking trails around camp property, in addition to public access to the Marin County Open Space Preserve.
