From its charming and tree-filled downtown shopping district to its stunning mountain views, Fairfax is dazzling. It is also very green -- and not just because it borders Cascade Canyon Open Space Preserve and Loma Alta Open Space Preserve. Fairfax is considered one of the most progressive towns in Marin County, with ordinances against plastic bags, Styrofoam containers, and chain stores. Mountain biking is a major pastime here, along with hiking and camping. Fairfax is about 30 minutes north of San Francisco and 14 miles southeast of Point Reyes National Seashore.
Surrounded by so much natural beauty, residents of Fairfax can hike to Cascade Falls, take their pets to dog-friendly Sorich Ranch Park, go camping at China Camp State Park, and go hiking and mountain biking at Loma Alta Open Space Preserve. Residents also enjoy the annual Fairfax Festival, held during the summer and including wine tasting, a flea market, a children's play area, food, beer, arts and crafts, special events, and a parade. Held at the same time, the Fairfax Ecofest has exhibits, organic foods and services, art, and live music.
