Phoenix Lake Tours

this is actually bill williams gulch, about a quarter mile from phoenix lake in ross, california. the dense redwood forest and waterfalls make this place feel literally magical.
After a hectic morning of sightseeing, Phoenix Lake is a delightful spot to kick back, rest your tired feet and have a bite to eat.

This Fairfax recreation and green space is a good spot to begin your day of sightseeing. There's loads to explore in the vicinity, such as Muir Woods National Monument, Dominican University of California, and Mount Tamalpais State Park. Wander around at your leisure at Phoenix Lake before making tracks to these other fine sights.

Close to where I needed to go. Rooms are clean and basic. Not the nicest area, a bit dark, but doesn’t feel unsafe.
