Coast View Trail is a mountain biking route in California, set within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and Mount Tamalpais State Park. The trail is an out-and-back that climbs from about 456 feet to 1,365 feet, with a total elevation gain of 900 feet over a round trip of about 5.5 miles. It is an easy ride, and the land is managed by State Park and Recreation. The most comfortable months for a visit are typically late spring and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Kentfield show May highs around 74°F and October highs around 76°F, with only a few wet days in each. That station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the route run cooler. Several other trails lie within about a mile and a half, including Old Mine Trail, Rock Spring Trail and Cataract Trail. Climbers can find ATF Boulder and Bay View Boulder about 1.5 miles away.
