Corte Madera Mountain

Cappie’s Scoop: This is one of my favorite hikes! I’ve hiked it in the warm sun, the cold winter and even when it was raining. There is always something fun on this hike whether it’s finding tasty sticks, mud puddles, or patches of snow to zoom through. I like it here so much I even brought my brother Mickey to check it out. I showed him the best rocks to climb and where you can get the best view of the mountains! We also found some great sticks but later I found out mom didn’t put them in the car! I told mom we need to go back to hike it again AND so I can find my sticks! Don’t hesitate to add YOUR scoop in the comments below!

Tips: None

Directions: From I-8 E take the Buckman Springs Road exit. Turn right on Buckman Springs Road and continue for approximately 3 miles to Corral Canyon Road (note: this road shows up as Morena Stokes Valley Road in Google Maps – the street sign says Corral Canyon). Turn right onto Corral Canyon Road and continue for 4.8 miles until you reach a hairpin turn in the road. At the turn, you will see a gate that indicates the trailhead. Park wherever parking is available off of the pavement. Corral Canyon Road is partially a rough dirt road, and many of the sections that are paved have some large potholes.
