    Really enjoy the view while on foot. Shared many a positive moments with a companion over the years. One day we saw an Otter crabbing. Rather funny to watch.

    Lovell Loop

    The Lovell Loop is well known among Mill Valley residents for walking your dog, going on a run or…read morejust just going on a really relaxing walk. I live nearby and I have two dogs so "doing the loop" is a multi-weekly routine that I get never tired of. (Note: you'll be walking on a one-lane asphalted road for most of this loop.) As it is a loop, there's no definite start or end point but if you're in downtown Mill Valley, I suggest you start at the fire station...because right across from it is wether Lovell Avenue begins. You then stay on Lovell Avenue for a very long time. There's gonna be a pretty steep ascend after a while and you're gonna be climbing for some time. But trust me, it's all worth it, as you're soon gonna be rewarded with views over the canyon. When you get to house numbers 300-400 you will notice that the road starts to level out and basically from here on you'll be gently meandering through the canyon. (It's so peaceful...especially in the early weekend mornings or evenings.) When you have reached 800 Lovell Loop you have the choice to go for a shortcut: down the Cascade Canyon along the waterfall. But I suggest you continue on Lovell until it intersects with Cascade Drive at 1002 Lovell Ave. (Here is where the infamous Zig Zag trail starts, which will bring you up to the Mountain Home Inn on a super-steep climb.) But in order to complete the Lovell Loop, you walk down Cascade Drive... Soon you will come to the intersection of the Tenderfoot Trail, which is well-known amongst mountain bikers as one of the first-ever established technical trails. This also will bring you up to the Mountain Home Inn...on a much more gently pace than the Zig Zag trail though. But again, the Lovell Loop continues slightly downhill along the Miller Creek. Especially in the spring after all the rain, this is a pretty intense little river! Soon you will come to the parking lot for the Cascade Falls. And this is where you would've come out, if you'd taken the shortcut earlier. (It's actually only a couple minutes walk to the waterfall, so you might as well check it out now.) Now you have several options to continue your walk. If you have somewhat good shoes, I suggest to take the "Three Wells Trail", which starts kitty corner from the parking lot at Cascade Falls (you'll see a little foot bridge crossing the creek). Walk along this trail and you'll eventually join up with Cascade Drive again. If you're on high-heels, I suggest you continue on Cascade Drive. Note: after a short while you will come to an intersection with Throckmorton Avenue - I suggest taking the right pathetic and continuing on Cascade Drive. At the bottom of the hill, when you're crossing a small bridge, is where the "Three Wells Trail" merges again. Now you continue on Cascade Drive all the way to Old Mill Park. The road winds along the creek and you will see some pretty spectacular houses here. (Local gossip says that Tyler Florence used to live in the bungalow-style house where Marion & Cascade intersect.) Once you've reached Old Mill Park, join the main road, which is Throckmorton, and you will soon be in downtown Mill Valley again. I suggest a pit-stop at Beerworks, where they not only serve delicious home-brewed beers, but their food is also amongst the best in Marin. Cheers!

    Scout Hall started out as a SALOON. In the early 1900's the building was outside the quarter-mile…read more"dry zone." It was in a local area known as "Jagtown." (Jagged = Intoxicated) At that time Mill Valley was a VERY DRY town. East Blithedale, outside the dry zone, was lined with bars called "blind piggeries." McGunnis Tavern (?), now known as Scout Hall, was just one of these very unsavory places of business. After the Saloon closed, the building saw duty as a house, a stable and finally a laundry. Around 1920 it was purchased, set-up as a non-profit corporation and became Scout Hall, Inc. Although not affiliated with the "Scouts," the non-profit organization designated the building for the benefit of local youth programs. In 1929 this grand old building saw double duty as a shelter for Mill Valley residents who were displaced by the great fire that nearly destroyed the entire little village of Mill Valley. Today the Grand Old Lady has served her community in many ways and is now in dire need of renovation - once again she needs a face lift. There is a capital campaign afoot in Mill Valley to raise the $$ needed to bring this lovely lady back to her former beauty. If you remember the saloon (if you do you are dang old) If you lived in it when it was a house (still dang old) If you stabled you horse here (probably dead by now) If your clothes were laundered here (probably have new ones by now) If you found shelter here with your family during the fire (lucky you) Then dig down in those jeans and help this lady spruce up. And, if you, your kids or grandkids have been lucky enough to have this building for Scout or other youth events, then you need to dig even deeper down in those pockets and come up with some cold hard cash. Full circle Mill Valley folks. She's always been there for You. Be there for Her now. www.scouthall.org

    The library is great, but someone threatened to stab by dog with his keys as we were leaving. It's…read moreshockingly disgusting. I visited on Saturday, November 9th, as our friend was using restroom in the library(she lives in Mill Valley, so she knows the area). We patiently waited outside as passerbies walked by to pet my dog and compliment her. My dog is a 10 year old German Shepherd, and she has been trained extensively since 1 year old, and because of this, she doesn't approach people unless we give her the command to. We understand that if people are scared of her breed, they just have to tell us, and we're happy to give them space. After all, she's a really well-behaved and gentle dog. She has been attacked by countless other dogs(now almost a a human), but she has never attacked any other dog or human. We've worked hard with lots of training to make sure she's doesn't become reactive from all the sudden attacks. So, it's shocking when a grown man threatens to stab your dog with his key! He had kids, too. What a terrible example for his kids. This is what happened: Our friend returned from the restroom, and we started walking down towards downtown. We chatted as we walked and noticed a family behind us, walking on the sidewalk. We moved to the side to let them pass. Unknowingly, the little girl is scared of dogs. With the narrow sidewalk, we tried to move aside, but there was limited room. Instead of speaking to us or asking for more space. The man brought out his key and moved it towards my dog in a threatening manner. Hovering the sharp end of the key 1 inch from my dog. We were so shocked that we didn't have time to react! We wished he would've asked for space instead of threatening us! The only reason we knew anything was because the little girl said, "I'm scared of dogs." With the man's key so close to my dog, we couldn't even give them space! Unfortunately, the description isn't very helpful. It was a middle-aged man, about late 40s. A young boy and girl. Kindergarten age. With a black mid size SUV(like a Toyota Rav4 size). They were leaving the library around 1 pm. The thing is, it's a rather dog friendly town. My friend has two dogs. We met many other dogs, but to think, someone who lives here and is raising his kids here would do that! So, if you bring your dog here... Just know someone might try to stand your dog.

    They say it takes a village... and I must say, Mill Valley is sure one helluva village…read more Like all towns across the state and country, the Corona Virus has taken its toll on people's lives and livelihoods. So it was really heartwarming to see Mill Valley biz owners and residents work together to close off the town square for weekend outdoor dining & entertainment. Every Friday - Sunday this summer, folks can eat al fresco at their favorite downtown establishments (Piazza D'Angelo, Gravity Tavern, Urban Remedy, etc.). They closed off Miller Street from 5pm - 9pm and set up outdoor tables six feet apart from one another & heat lamps. They even set up an acoustic band in the Depot to entertain the crowd. The square was packed! The mood was lively. People were eating & drinking and having a grand ol' time. It almost felt like Europe. You would've almost forgot that we were in the middle of a pandemic if it wasn't for all the face masks. Congrats to everyone who worked hard to put this all together. It truly was a team effort. Hopefully (when the virus is gone), they'll continue this outdoor dining for years to come. Way to go, Mill Valley. Very proud of our community.

It is very…read moreimportant to understand it is essentially a working hospital, and you are visiting to learn about and support its critical conservation work, not to view cute lil' critters. Of course you might get to see some in their tank enclosures! But, you might not. (So maybe not a good trip with little kids who would really be disappointed.) We learned all about the pup season, how to respond as laypeople if we see a potentially injured marine mammal on shore, how to make a fish smoothie (didn't necessarily need that image but the animals do!), and did in fact get to see and hear some teenage elephant seals flopping around and vocalizing. Nice little gift shop too. We took the guided tour with a docent but saw plenty of people doing the self-guided tour (which is much cheaper or maybe even free?). It was quiet on the weekend but I bet much busier in the labs during the open weekdays. I was so happy we visited and you should too!

They came in and volunteered their time to assist the professionals that manage the Marine Mammal Center. What a joy and a pleasure it is to see a collection of fine young kids growing up and embracing something so amazing. The cruise, the teams of management, the love and compassion by all the people that are employed their is capable. It's easy to see that there's a connection that's very personal between everyone that comes there to learn and everyone that's there that teaches. Truly, a shining star of an organization.
