Mill Valley:

Mill Valley, which stands in the shadow of Mount Tamalpais, has a charm all its own. Besides the quaint downtown, home to antique stores, bookstores, a theater, nightclub, art gallery, coffee shops, and the Depot Bookstore cafe, Mill Valley offers hiking and biking trails, a dog run, a nine-hole public golf course, and the annual Dipsea foot race, the oldest cross-country foot race on the West Coast. For those with an artistic bent, there's a noted film festival every fall, as well as an outdoor arts fair, festival of wine and Memorial Day crafts festival in Bayfront Park.

What to See
Located at the base of Mt. Tam and the edge of Muir Woods, Mill Valley boasts some of the finest in outdoor opportunities on the parks' hiking and biking trails. Stinson Beach and Golden Gate National Recreation Area are also nearby. Within Mill Valley's borders, there are numerous shops and restaurants, several smaller parks, a movie theatre, nightspots, and a range of annual events.
