June 14, 2026 marks the 115th running of the Dipse June 14, 2026 marks the 115th running of the Dipsea. This means 1,500 men and women, ranging in age from 8–80, most of them Marin residents, will leave downtown Mill Valley beginning at 8 a.m. and climb up 685 concrete steps, then run seven miles along some of Mt Tamalpais’ most rutted and steep dirt trails and finish in Stinson Beach near the Pacific Ocean. Sound like fun? It ain’t!

But for nearly every year since 1905, thousands of runners have insisted upon doing it. Only during two years of the Great Depression, four years of WWII and one year of the Covid pandemic were runners forced to stay home because the Dipsea had been cancelled. Yet, according to historian Barry Spitz’s 270-page book Dipsea, The Greatest Race, the weather — be it rain, fog or freezing cold — has never caused a cancellation.

Nor has harsh heat ever halted Dipsea mania. As Spitz chronicles on page 63, “The 1940 race was held on an oppressively hot day, perhaps the hottest in Dipsea history, with morning temperatures above 90 degrees.” Obvious results of the high temperatures were the runner’s slow times. “The winner Ernie Marinoni’s time,” Spitz points out, “was the second slowest winning time ever.” And Marinoni (note the first five letters of his last name), pictured above, wasn’t your typical runner. “He fought 183 fights as a lightweight boxer named Johnnie Costello,” writes Spitz. “He could really withstand punishment.” Who knows what the weather will be like for this year’s running of the Dipsea, but there’s one thing all of its runners will have to have in common — the ability to really withstand punishment.

By definition, hotels typically cater to travelers By definition, hotels typically cater to travelers with limited time in the area, especially those in bucket-list locations like Sausalito. A few, though, become beloved by locals, offering opportunities to celebrate life’s milestones in style, reconnect with friends over dinner or just drop in for a post-work drink — think a combination of the Ahwahnee in Yosemite, Hotel del Coronado in San Diego and the bar from Cheers.

Cavallo Point, a Michelin two-key property, however, does it all while tucked away in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area’s Fort Baker. And nearly 20 years after the debut of its sustainably repurposed military facilities, this luxurious lodge is welcoming neighbors with renewed vigor as DiamondRock Hospitality, which purchased the property in 2018, partners with the original developers to bring back a restored sensibility and sense of place.

The desire to include those who have been part of the property’s identity from its inception comes in part from the man who helped build it. “Without the community, Cavallo Point would not be as successful as it is,” says Mike Freed, co-founder and managing partner of Passport Resorts. In 2008 Freed and his team famously blocked a mega-Marriott plan to take over the space and instead, with a keen respect for the environment and preserving the original buildings, created Cavallo Point.

In 1905, Marin benefactors William and Elizabeth K In 1905, Marin benefactors William and Elizabeth Kent (Kentfield, Kent Middle School) purchased over 600 acres of what was then Redwood Canyon (it’s now Muir Woods) for $45,000. At the time, William famously told Elizabeth, “If we lose all our money but save the trees, it will be worth it.” The Kents believed the best way to save the redwoods was to donate the acreage to the US. Government. 

Yet it wasn’t easy! Local water interests wanted to dam the canyon and create a reservoir for southern Marin. To the rescue came Gifford Pinchot, a Yale classmate of Kent’s and the first head of what is now the National Park Service. Working together in 1907, Kent and Pinchot convinced President Teddy Roosevelt that his recently signed Antiquities and Monuments Act allowed him to designate “objects of historical and scientific interest” as national monuments. So in January of 1908, Muir Woods National Monument, named for Kent’s acquaintance the naturalist John Muir, became a reality. Then in 1911, as the photo of Muir Woods Inn attests, President Roosevelt’s second wife Edith visited Muir Woods as guests of the Kents. Unfortunately, the inn was later destroyed by fire and never rebuilt.
