I adore hiking in the Point Reyes area. I really need to get a map of the whole area so that I can find more hikes to do here. We did other hikes in this area last time we were hiking in California, so I knew I wanted to come back. We saw quail, deer, and seals on this hike. The hiking book listed this as a quiet area, but we did see quite a few hikers as the day wore on. We hiked to the end of the Sunset Trail where the trail ends at a bench. Apparently if the tide is low, you can walk a little further. We decided to try the Drakes Bay trail as well. This one ended on top of a cliff overlooking the ocean. It was a beautiful windy place to lie down and take a rest and a lunch break.
