Questions about Mt Tamalpais, CA
We have an out of state visitor over the weekend, and it is too late to call an office at Mt Tamalpais State Park, so I'll ask here.
1. Do they have a picnic area with BBQ grills ? In their broshure, they mention some "stoves" at Bootjack Picnic Area, but I am not sure if this is the same as BBQ grills.
2. Can we drive to the summit, or hiking is the only option ? Due to age, we probably won't be able to climb more than ~200ft.

Right now they don't even allow smoking in vehicles, I would find it hard to believe they allow bbqs at this point in the fire season.
The trail up to the summit may be more than 200 ft. In fact, I'm sure it is but not that difficult.
There are some picnic tables at the first pullout on Ridgecrest Blvd after you make the left from Pantoll Rd but there are no grills. The views from up the trail here are maybe even better than from the summit.
This weekend should be an excellent time to visit with the fog being far below hugging the coastline.

I would doubt you would be able to BBQ just about anywhere in CA at this time of year, other than your backyard. It is fire season, and there has not been enough rain this year to keep things from being VERY DRY. Just a few embers can get out of control quickly.
How qbout find a BBQ restaurant and doing just a picnic.
