Discover Green Gulch Trail
Explore the 4.2-mile Green Gulch Trail loop near Sausalito, California. This moderately challenging hike takes about 2 hours and 10 minutes to complete and is great for hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking. Enjoy peaceful moments during quieter times. The best months to visit are January through November. Please note, dogs are not allowed on this trail.
Hike and Meditate with Us
Join local Buddhist monks from Dharma Treasury Temple (DTT), a branch of Bodhi Light International (BLI), for a scenic hike and meditation session. Guided in American Chan (Zen) meditation, you will focus on self-improvement and personal growth. Whether you’re new to meditation or experienced, you’ll deepen your Samadhi (concentration) and experience positive changes in mental and physical health, creativity, relationships, and problem-solving.
Post-Hike Meditation Workshop
After the hike, we'll conclude at Green Gulch Farm Zen Center with a sitting meditation session. Basic meditation instructions will be provided.
Engage with Our Monks
Feel free to engage with the monks in casual conversations about spiritual practices and meditation. Ask questions and learn from their experiences!
