Roy's Redwoods Preserve

293 forested acres overlooking the heart of San Geronimo Valley.

Rangers Recommend

  • A major restoration project is underway through October 2024. All of Meadow Trail, north of Loop Trail, and adjacent areas are closed 24/7. For your safety, respect closure signs. We look forward to welcoming you back to this area when construction is completed.
  • Climb the Dickson Ridge Fire Road for sweeping views from Mount Tamalpais to Mount Wittenberg.
  • Travel on to Maurice Thorner Memorial Preserve via connecting Thorner Ridge Trail.
  • Dogs welcome–must be leashed on trail, and under voice command on fire roads, with leash readily available.

Naturalist Notes

  • Look for pileated woodpeckers and back-throated gray warblers during the day. Listen for barn owls and great-horned owls in evening and early morning.
  • Pacific hound's tongue, milkmaids, and other wildflowers bloom in spring.
  • Kingsnakes, racers, ring-necked snakes, and rattlesnakes make their home here, as does every species of lizard in the county.
  • Check out the iNaturalist field guide. Add your own observations.
