Miwok Trail is a short, easy mountain biking route in Golden Gate National Recreation Area, managed by the National Park Service. The trail is an out-and-back that covers about a mile, with a low point of 626 feet and a high of 782 feet, and it gains about 130 feet of elevation. It sits within the recreation area's boundaries in California, and there is no fee to ride it. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. 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 month. That station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the route run cooler. Dias Ridge Trail and Middle Green Gulch Trail are both within about a mile. Farther out, Tamelpa Trail offers hiking about 3.6 miles away, and Mount Tamalpais, a climbing area, is about 4.4 miles off.
