Directions
Carpools
Slide Ranch has lots of parking, but if convenient, I would encourage carpooling, if not to Slide Ranch from the city, then while we are at the retreat. We will be driving to and from farms, farmers market, etc.
Slide Ranch
2025 Shoreline Highway
Muir Beach, CA 94965
From San Francisco:
Cross the Golden Gate Bridge on Highway 101 North. Take the Mt. Tamalpais, Stinson Beach, Highway 1 exit (the exit immediately after the Marin City/Bridgeway exit). Follow the "After Exiting Highway 101" directions below.
From the East Bay:
Get across the Richmond Bridge and travel south on Highway 101. Take the Mt. Tamalpais, Stinson Beach, Highway 1 exit. Follow the "After Exiting Highway 101" directions below.
From Marin County:
Take the Mt. Tamalpais, Stinson Beach, Highway 1 exit from Highway 101. Follow the "After Exiting Highway 101" directions below.
From West Marin:
Go to Stinson Beach, and drive 3.8 miles south on Highway 1. Our driveway is on your righthand side. Look for the Slide Ranch sign. If you get to Muir Beach, you have gone 2 miles too far.
After Exiting Highway 101:
After leaving Highway 101, follow the signs for Highway 1. After about 1/3 mile you will come to a stoplight - turn left at the stoplight; you will now be on Highway 1, a narrow, twisty, and hilly road. After 2.4 miles, you will come to a fork in the road at the top of the hill. Turn left to Stinson Beach, do not turn right towards Muir Woods and Mt. Tamalpais. You will reach Muir Beach and the Pelican Inn after 2.5 miles of steep descent. Drive past the Pelican Inn and follow Highway 1. Just beyond the Pelican Inn, Highway 1 curves to the left, so do not go straight or you will end up in Muir Woods. The green highway sign will tell you to bear left to stay on Highway 1 (towards Stinson Beach). Slide Ranch is 2.2 miles north of Muir Beach. You will see Slide Ranch signs shortly before you reach our driveway on your left. Turn left into our drive.
Sit and be still
until in the time
of no rain you hear
beneath the dry wind's
commotion in the trees
the sound of flowing
water among the rocks,
a stream unheard before,
and you are where
breathing is prayer.
Wendell Berry
