Bicycling up to the Mountain Play can be a wonderful experience. And now, with Marin County Bicycle Coalition's free valet bike parking at the theater, you no longer need to carry that heavy lock with you up the mountain.

The following information will help cyclists take the safest routes to the play and have an enjoyable day.

Road Biking

Stay away from Panoramic Highway coming from Mill Valley. The Mountain Play has approximately 25 large yellow shuttle buses that take patrons to the theater. They run from Tam High and Manzanita parking area (under Highway 101 at the Stinson Beach exit) in Mill Valley on to Highway 1 right up to four corners and then along Panoramic Highway, right up Pan Toll Road, right on Ridgecrest to the theater entrance. Buses run from 9:00am-1:00pm going to the show and after the show until everyone gets down (usually 4:00-5:30pm).

Road bikes should get to the top of the mountain from Fairfax or Stinson Beach by taking the Bolinas-Fairfax Road to Ridgecrest, Ridgecrest to the theater entrance (just past the large Rock Spring parking lot).

Mountain Biking from Mill Valley

Take the Old Railroad Grade to the West Point Inn. Continue up Railroad Grade to Ridgecrest at East Peak. Turn left on Ridgecrest to west peak. Be careful of traffic going in and out of the old Air Force Base (near the large white dome). The theater entrance is on your left just before the Rock Springs parking lot.

Mountain Biking from Fairfax

Take Eldridge Grade up to the top of the mountain (East Peak). Follow the same directions from East Peak as above.
