The Marin Peace Points are a set of seven beautiful and varied
locations around Marin County. Each reveals a different kind of
peace, from urban to very remote, from deep forest to sunny
hillside to windswept peak. When you’ve visited them all, a
unifying form will be revealed that truly represents the spirit of
this beautiful county. But the road to true peace is never easy. To
find it, you’ll have to go to all seven Peace Points in
order. Each has clues to find the next. While Peace Point One is
easy to get to, some of the others are more strenuous and Peace
Point Seven is far from any trails.

These coordinates are to a parking area on Sir Francis Drake
near Samuel P. Taylor State Park. Get on the bike trail going east
and go to the Ridge Trail (.6 miles). Go up it to the summit of Mt.
Barnabe. An alternate route to the summit is to park at Devil's
Gulch 38° 1.775’ N 122° 44.202’ W. and go up the
Barnabe Trail, which is longer but not as steep. When you cross the
bridge over the creek, you can go right up the Barnabe Trail (3.0
miles) or left up Bill's Trail (4.1 miles). I recommend Bill up and
Barnabe down for a wonderful and varied loop. Bill's Trail is a
wonderful example of a good, well-designed trail. Once at the
summit, catch your breath and admire the views. Then follow the
fence line running north east from the summit. Stay on the left
side, as there is a private home a few yards outside the park. Go
.48 miles along this fence line, dropping 300' feet, to the site.
