What to Expect:
We don't waste any time diving into the delights of the region as we embark on a walk through historic Muir Woods on the way from the airport. We will then spend the next three nights at the edge of Point Reyes National Seashore. During the days, we will experience a number of habitats as we hike through the Tule Elk Reserve to the easternmost tip of Pt. Reyes, enjoy panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and Tomales Bay and visit tidepools teeming with microscopic life.
Then it's northward. Our home for the next two nights, historic Mendocino, is a gem of a town in one of the most picturesque settings on the Pacific Coast. While in the Mendocino area, we will head deep into the redwood forests. The coastal redwoods loom large and the surrounding landscape is lush with ferns. On the final day we will say goodbye to the area with a walk along the dramatic bluffs surrounding Mendocino.
