- Dogs
- Guests' dogs are not allowed anywhere on club property.
- Please, do not tie up your dog on the trail, on the club's access road, or anywhere else around the club. They are not happy, and their complaints disturb our neighbors. Besides, we love dogs, and we don't like seeing them treated that way.

Tamalpais State Park property (including Redwood Trail and Sun Trail) except for the Pantoll Campsite and the Alice Eastwood Road.
