Ring Mountain is located north of San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge (elevation 602 feet). Geologists and botanists come from around the world to study Ring Mountain's serpentine rock and unique plant life. We hiked to the top to see the extremely rare Tiburon Mariposa Lily. It grows nowhere else in the world, and only blooms in May and June. At the mountain's peak we enjoyed the flowers and a 360 degree view of San Francisco Bay, Napa Valley, and Marin county.
