BALTIMORE
CANYON
Open Space Preserve
Located along the Northridge (the spur of
Mt.Tamalpais which separates Mill Valley from Corte Madera and Larkspur),
Baltimore Canyon Open Space Preserve is home to a mixed conifer forest
which includes Coast redwood and Douglas fir. In winter and spring, runoff
from Mt. Tamalpais creates Dawn Falls, a popular destination for open
space visitors. Later, the cool and shaded canyon offers respite from
the heat of a summer afternoon.
