Hikers: Nat and Bill (humans) | Willow and Niner (dogs)
Start Time: 7:00 am, Vineyard Road trail entrance
Indian Tree Open Space Preserve is located in west Novato, at the end of a quiet neighborhood on Vineyard road. This is a hike for tree lovers, as the trails ascend through dense groves of oak, bay and madrone, rewarding you with a lush redwood forest at the top of the mountain. We love this hike, and the Big Trees trail in particular, because of all that wonderful shade, cool temperatures and fog that kisses the mountain tops, making it a delight for the dogs and perfect hiking weather for humans.
