Description
The Mt. Tamalpais and Muir Woods Railroad ran from 1896 until 1929, from downtown Mill Valley, California, to near the summit of Mt. Tamalpais, with a second line descending the west side of Mt. Tamalpais to Muir Woods beginning in 1907. The railroad was dubbed "The Crookedest Railroad in the World" for its 281 curves. At the top of Mt. Tamalpais, passengers could hike the mountain or visit the Tavern of Tamalpais, known throughout the Bay Area for its fine dining room and comfortable accommodations.
