Easy Grade Trail

Closing a key off-road gap from GGB to Pt Reyes

Key Facts

Type: Multiuse
Location: Mount Tamalpais State Park
Managing Agency: California State Parks/California Department of Recreation
Funding: California Department of Parks and Recreation, California State Parks Foundation, Roots and Branches Conservancy, Bay Area Ridge Trail
Status: Under Construction
Project Update: Construction began in May, 2025 with completion estimated for Fall 2025. Easy Grade Trail provides bicyclists an alternative route to the narrow and often-congested Pantoll Road, takes advantage of an existing redundant trail (hikers and equestrians use Old Mine Trail and hikers use Bootjack Trail).

Benefits of the Project

As one of three priority gaps in a car-free route from the Golden Gate to Point Reyes in our 3 Gaps Initiative, MCBC has dedicated years to uniting diverse stakeholders, developing comprehensive plans, and securing essential resources to make this project a reality.

Easy Grade Trail provides bicyclists an alternative route to the narrow and often-congested Pantoll Road, takes advantage of an existing redundant trail (hikers and equestrians use Old Mine Trail, and hikers use Bootjack Trail), provides a road-free route to the Mountain Play, and closes a bicycle user gap in the Bay Area Ridge Trail. This trail will allow cyclists a safer route between Mountain Theater and Pantoll Ranger Station.
