Getting to the trail is an exit (from US 101) in San Anselmo/Sir Francis Drake and going west at Sir Francis Drake around 15 miles to Samuel P. Taylor State Park. Keep an eye out for the Devil’s Gulch Horse Camp sign which marks the entrance.

Once you’ve reached around 1.7 miles, you’ll see a gate that indicates the edfe of the state park land. You’ll then be crossing a meadow until it goes back to the woods and into an open flat area. You then just have to retrace your steps back to your car.
