Mount Tamalpais advice

Hey there 👋

29F from Australia looking to do the Dipsea -> Steep Ravine loop one day this weekend.

I’m thinking i’ll need to hire a car since Uber from San Francisco is fine for the trip there but reception there isn’t reliable to book the return trip back? Is this true?

I plan to start around 8:30am and finish well before dark. Is there any free parking for the day?

Does anyone have any suggestions, landmarks, route advice or updates on the latest conditions?

Also, any groups that do this hike often which I could join rather than go solo is appreciated 🙂

Thanks everyone!
