The reward of climbing up to this saddle on McCullough or Julian Trail is the spectacular view across the Golden Gate, and the bridge.

The Angel Island Ferry Landing in Ayala Cove offers regular passenger ferry service to Tiburon and San Francisco. The Angel Island to Tiburon Ferry provides a 15-minute crossing of the Racoon Strait to the Tiburon Ferry Terminal. The island is car-free, providing safe trails to hikers and bikers. Unlike the Tiburon and Sausalito ferry piers, private boats can moor at Ayala Cove Pier under Angel Island State Park's rules. Late in the day, lines can grow long, and on busy dates, visitors may be left waiting at the pier when the ferry reaches capacity.

Great viewpoint along Stagecoach Fire Road. There are picnic tables, so this is a great place for a break to enjoy the wonderful views of Mount Tamalpais.
