Nature favored Marin County with nature's best as it is found in the northwestern part of California and had been topographically formed as a peninsula that faces southward to look over the majestic Golden Gate Bridge and the San Francisco Bay. Marin County's other neighbors are Sonoma and Napa Counties to its north, the Pacific Ocean and its beaches to its west, and the San Pablo Bay to its east. Nature did in fact favor Marin County with nature's best. Because Marin County is sandwiched between two prominent bodies of water and as a result of its winter's rains, it has been proven time and time again to have warmer winters than its immediate neighbors. For just those exact reasons, Marin County was equally blessed with cooler summers which never trigger heat waves, especially near its beaches. Topographically, Marin County displays a remarkable landscape of lush and sprawling pasturelands, tidal flats along its coastline and the towering Mount Tamalpais, the county's tallest mountain reaching a height of 2,600 feet. Nature favored Marin County with its best panoramic views of luxuriant emerald-green farmlands, vivid tidal flats and Mount Tamalpais presiding over the entire spectrum from its height of 2,600 feet. The San Andreas earthquake fault is one of Mother Nature's most explosive geologic forces which have shaped the land of Marin County over the course of millions of years of activity into a vibrant patchwork of undulating hills, with precipitous scenery and a wide assortment of soil types. Most of these soils stem from volcanic, maritime and alluvial origins born by major geological movements such as earthquakes, erosion and glacial flows and most of them are ideal for agriculture. To repay Mother-Nature for blessing Marin County so openhandedly, many refuges and preserves have been established to project the wares of Mother-Nature. - It has been estimated that more than 1,000 species of plants and animals are saved from harm and extinction at Point Reyes National Seashore which is nested between the rocky shores of the Pacific Ocean, the lush grassy flatlands, the rolling hills and the tree-rich forests. - Establishing its presence in two islands within the San Marino Bay, the West Marin and the East Marin, the Marin Island National Wildlife Refuge has been set up to shelter the Bay Area's and Marin County's largest populations of herons and egrets. This wildlife refuge also houses many other species of birds who have taken up permanent residence and it provides welcoming feeding and resting grounds for many other migrating birds who are seeking temporary shelters. - Muir Woods National Monument is a part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA), one of the largest urban national parks in the world. GGNRA was established in 1972 and contains 75,398 acres extend from Tomales Bay in Marin County to San Mateo County in the south, encompassing 59 miles of shoreline - one of the nation's largest coastal preserves.
