13 Gorgeous Small Towns to Visit Near San Francisco

Mill Valley is a good place to spend the weekend as it’s well-located for hiking and sightseeing but also has plenty of stuff to check out downtown. Grab a bite or window shop at Mill Valley Lumber Yard, which has a nice collection of small shops and restaurants including the popular Flour Craft Bakery. It’s also worth stopping by the lovely Mill Valley Public Library which feels like a treehouse tucked away in the redwoods, or going for a hike on the Dipsea Trail, Bay Trail, or Camino Alto Preserve.
