Fairfax, California, is a beautiful and unique town, and is a suburb of San Francisco that is the last bit of civilization before descending into Marin County’s San Geronimo Valley. Fairfax has often been described as “the gateway to West Marin,” and the city has a reputation for being unique, eclectic, and high quality.

Located in the central and central west area of Marin County, this desirable town is roughly a half an hour’s drive from the San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge and is a favorite location for Bay Area residents who want to be close to the action, but not so close as to give up the benefits that small towns and suburbs can provide over the actual city.

While many suburbs have to choose between being “green” or outdoors oriented, or being cultured and cutting edge urban, Fairfax California is unique in that they need to make no such distinction. Fairfax has great outdoor recreation nearly everywhere you look, the climate is mild and pleasant, and there are plenty of outdoor trails and dedicated recreational areas for both residents and visitors to enjoy.

The extensive array of trails and recreational areas found in this area of Marin County are an outdoorsman’s dream, offering up a virtually unlimited supply of popular yet non-commercial areas to hike, bike, fish, and more. In fact, the allure of these trails motivated local cyclists to develop a new type of bicycle (the mountain bike) to more effectively handle the variable terrain. For this reason, Fairfax is often cited as the town where the mountain bike was born. Downtown Fairfax is designed with walkers in mind, and there are a wide array of cultural events, including live music, cinema, and an impressive array of clubs and restaurants.

The Fairfax Festival in June is a uniquely local festival that draws people from miles away. This annual event was recently expanded to include an Ecofest which serves as an ecological celebration for attendees. As part of the Ecofest celebration, visitors can shop for organic food, wine and beer, hear locally grown music, and also share ideas with progressive local environmental groups. Some people describe Fairfax as a town that never left the 60s, and the irony is that this progressive and liberal mindset has actually made the town modern and relevant in modern California.

Considerations for tourists interested in climbing the Volcano Baru:
• Because it is over 3,000 meters high, eventually your ears will get clogged and you can even start to feel sleepy.
• Remember to bring the right clothing like coats and boots.
• You can bring water, food and camping equipment if you wish to spend the night on the summit. more…

This mindset isn’t necessarily all that unique, but Fairfax, California is unique in the way it blends the urban, the suburban, and the rural into a community that is definitely one of a kind.
