Point Reyes National Seashore
Distance: 10.0 miles
Tomales Point Trail is an open trail through the Tule Elk
Range offers spectacular views of Tomales Bay, Bodega Bay, and the Pacific
Ocean. It is also a prime wildlife viewing trail, as it is remote and the
tule elk are enclosed in this reserve. The first 3 miles to Lower Pierce
Point Ranch are well marked and maintained, but the last stretch can be
overgrown with bush lupine and other shrubs, so long pants and long sleeves
are a good idea. The journey all the way to the Point is worth it, for the
view is unparalleled. Beware of fog and wind, which can limit visibility and
make this hike more challenging. (Begins at the end of Pierce Point Road, 40
minute driving time from Bear Valley).
