"A Psychedelic Journey Through Grateful Dead & '60s Counterculture History"
Trace 16 sacred landmarks across Sausalito, Mill Valley, San Rafael, and Fairfax. Walk where Jerry, Bob, Phil, Robert Hunter, and Janis Joplin lived, jammed, and birthed the music that changed a generation.
While San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury planted the seeds of the 1960s movement, it was the mystical redwood valleys, coastal fog, and bohemian hideaways of Marin County that nourished the Grateful Dead for over three decades.
Experiential tourism is thriving like never before. As society seeks authenticity, community, and timeless music, the 1960s psychedelic ethos is experiencing a profound rebirth. From rehearsal heliports on Sausalito’s shores to commune ranches in Novato, this tour re-engraves the legacy of North Bay rock royalty.
Step outside Club Front & The Record Plant where masterpieces were recorded.
Visit Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter, Janis Joplin homes and Olompali commune.
"Marin County wasn't just where they slept—it was the canvas for their jams, their business headquarters, and the epicenter of an enduring cultural movement."
