Tomales Point

Trail description

Hike in Point Reyes National Seashore from the Tomales Point Trailhead at historic Pierce Ranch, north along the Tomales Point Trail through the Tule Elk Reserve to the tip of the peninsula above Tomales Bluff. The first three miles follow an old ranch road along the ridge crest, with the Pacific on one side and Tomales Bay on the other; beyond, the trail is sandier and less maintained. Tule elk, reintroduced here in 1978, are almost always in sight. The full round trip is about 9.5 miles (15 km), so allow four to five hours and expect wind and fog.
