Project Update: The Liberty Gulch Trail is complete! Opened on May 1st, it represents more than a decade of persistent advocacy and collaboration. Since 2011, MCBC has championed access to Azalea Hill above the Meadow Club Golf Course, working to create a safer route for mountain bikers by moving them off the dangerous Bolinas-Fairfax Road onto a new Pine Mountain trail connector along Alpine Lake’s edge.

Benefits of the Project

Liberty Gulch provides an off-road connection from the Lakes to the Pine Mountain region of the Marin Watershed.

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.
