Mount Tamalpais is the highest peak in the Marin Hills, which are part of the Northern California Coast Ranges.
The elevation at the West Peak, where a radar dome currently stands, is between 2,560 feet (780 m) and 2,580 feet (786 m).
It stood over 2,600 feet (792 m) before the summit was flattened for the radar dome construction.
The East Peak is at 2,571 feet (784 m).
The East Peak was considered the highest point in the county, but now that claim is being disputed by those who believe the west peak is higher.
But there is no corroboration of the claim on behalf of west peak from USGS or any other official body.
The site ListsOfJohn has marked the west peak to be higher, but added a footnote that the east peak may be higher since the west peak summit was razed.
The mountain is clearly visible from the city of San Francisco and the East Bay region.

The majority of the mountain is contained in protected public lands, including Mount Tamalpais State Park, Muir Woods National Monument, and the Mount Tamalpais Watershed.
It adjoins the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (which in turn adjoins Point Reyes National Seashore) as well as several Marin County Open Space Preserves.
This provides nearly 40 miles (64 km) of continuous publicly accessible open space.
Some of the lower slopes of Mount Tamalpais fall within several cities and unincorporated communities of Marin County, including Mill Valley, Tamalpais-Homestead Valley, Stinson Beach, and Kentfield.
These areas are generally developed, consisting of mostly low-density single-family homes.
