Looking east is this amazing estuary just north of Novato, Rush Creek reaches east to Highway 37 and the preserve is bordered by majestic oaks to the south and endless vistas looking north. Highway 101 cuts it off from Mount Burdell, otherwise the area would be home to big cats and much more deer. Moon rises to the east are the best in Marin. Take the 2-hour trail loop trail, easy and beautiful.
