In the tradition of European hiking clubs and mountain Hütte, our guest days provide a place for hikers and mountaineers to stop for rest and refreshment after a day spent hiking, climbing, or exploring the trails and woods of Mt. Tamalpais.

Upcoming Guest Days at the Tourist Club ● Sunday, June 19, 2016 — Sold out ● No guest days are currently scheduled.

Our Guest Days

We are a private club and we are closed to guests unless our Calendar lists a guest day, festival, or other event specifically open to guests.

unless our Calendar lists a guest day, festival, or other event specifically open to guests. Guest days are open to all ages.

Our hours are posted on the calendar.

Guest days happen when they happen. We will update our Calendar when one is offered. You can receive email notice of an upcoming guest day by subscribing to our guest events mailing list.

We are in the woods, and a minimum half-mile hike is required to reach our lodge. It's been known for people to get lost trying to find us. We suggest you review the Directions prior to setting out on your hike.

We have a limited number of tables and benches. Guests might want to bring a blanket or ground cloth to spread on the deck or ground.

We do not accept credit cards, debit cards, electronic transfers, or checks for purchases at the Tourist Club. There is no ATM on the premises.

Please share rides, as parking is very limited near our lodge. See Directions for details.

Our club is not ADA accessible. There are numerous staircases, uneven steps, and trails that make navigating our 105+ year-old buildings and grounds challenging.

The guest day goes on, rain or shine.

While we don't sell food other than light snacks at our guest days, we do sell food at our annual Festivals in May, July, and September.

No outside alcohol is allowed at any time at our club.

We are trying to reduce plastic and paper waste, consequently we do not provide disposable water drinkware. We suggest that guests bring and use personal water containers (not glass).
