Once you get to the top of Steep Ravine Trail, you emerge at the Pantoll camping parking area. The trail crosses several wooden bridges that interweave over the creek, and you’ll have to climb up a 10-foot ladder and duck under fallen trees that cover the trail, and this is part of what makes the hike fun. As you hike up, you will meander next to Webb Creek through the canyon next to lush ferns. If it has rained, the trail could be really muddy in places, so you may want to watch your footing. Once you get to the trail, you will climb on a 10.7 percent grade for 1.7 miles.
Hiking the Steep Ravine Trail takes you under Redwood Trees, and follows Webb Creek as it runs downhill. And if it’s been raining, it makes this hike even better, as the waterfalls flow even more. The Redwood trees grow all around, and running water of Webb Creek flows downhill next to the trail. Hiking Steep Ravine Trail by itself is a fantastic hike. We started out on the Dipsea Trail at Stinson Beach and hiked it to Steep Ravine Trail and then took it to the Matt Davis Trail, which put us back down at Stinson Beach. I combined this trail with the Matt Davis Trail to make a loop on the west side of Mount Tamalpais. The Steep Ravine Trail at Mount Tamalpais State Park is a beautiful trail to hike, and I’ve written about it previously.
The Matt Davis Trail at Mount Tamalpais offers sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean.
