Cushing Memorial Amphitheatre

Built in the 1930's by the Civilian Conservation Corp, this huge stone amphitheatre is a quiet place of solitude most of the year.  

A few mountain bikers, hikers and picnicers pass through occasionally.

The 95-year-old Mountain Play is performed here once a year for 5 consecutive weekends.  

The rest of the year, it is a place of peace and quiet and wildlife.

Part of The Tamalpais State Park the 3,750 seat natural amphitheatre is a place to enjoy the natural beauty of this mountain.

Sometimes . . . I come here to watch a single hawk glide and soar across the sky or to watch the fog rolling into the San Francisco Bay off the Pacific Ocean.

Cushing Memorial Amphitheatre at Mount Tamalpais State Park is the perfect place to escape from the city for just a few delightful hours.
