For the Labor Day hol­i­day, I went hik­ing at Point Reyes.  We got there around 1PM and it was already hot. The hike started at the Bear Val­ley Vis­i­tor center.

A short half mile walk up the Bear Val­ley Trail is the trail head for the Meadow trail. This is where the ele­va­tion rises from the val­ley floor to the crest of the ridge, so the hike is sharply uphill for over a mile. I was melt­ing and ques­tion­ing if I was going to make it about halfway up.… Near the crest is the trail head for the Sky Trail which where the trail starts going down­hill towards the ocean. For another mile you have sweep­ing vis­tas of the park and coast­line. Wood­ward Meadow trail is the final leg of the hike which takes you down to the beach and past a camp­ground. After real­iz­ing how far down we had come towards the ocean, we decided to turn around. This was at least four miles in and four miles out.

Point Reyes is one of my favorite places to hike and there are so many other things to do too. Click here to down­load a map of Point Reyes National Seashore (2)
