Fairfax

Few towns in California have a history as closely tied to rail travel in Marin County as Fairfax. Set in Ross Valley below the slopes of Mount Tamalpais, Fairfax grew around a railroad station and was incorporated in 1931. Its centre supports independent shops and live-music venues, while the annual Fairfax Festival brings community activity to the streets. Nearby roads and fire trails have also made the town an important point for cyclists; Marin County played a formative role in the early development of mountain biking. Fairfax’s inland setting gives it a different rhythm from the county’s Bay-facing communities. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Fairfax and Marin County.
