Miwok Trail is a short, easy 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 covers about 0.8 miles, with a low point of 614 feet and a high of 729 feet, and it gains about 92 feet of elevation. The land is managed by State Park and Recreation. The most comfortable months for a ride are 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. Dias Ridge Trail starts just 0.1 mile away, and Middle Green Gulch Trail is about 1.3 miles off. For a hike, Tamelpa Trail is roughly 2.6 miles away, and the Mount Tamalpais climbing area is about 3.4 miles away.
