Spring is just around the corner, and this is one of the best places to celebrate its coming. The coastal bluffs along the outer reaches of the Pt Reyes Peninsula host a lovely display of early wildflowers. We'll take our time identifying the species that we find as we enjoy breathtaking views of the ocean. There are a couple of short, moderately steep hills but otherwise the route is fairly level. Total miles: 2.5. Elevation change: 200'. This walk is offered in partnership with Point Reyes National Seashore. Remember to bring lunch, and binoculars if you have them. No pets (except service dogs) are allowed. Adverse weather or poor air quality may cancel.
Questions: Contact Shannon Burke at Shannon.Burke@marincounty.gov.
Registration is required.
Directions: Meet at the Chimney Rock trailhead. From Hwy 101 in Larkspur, take the exit for Sir Francis Drake Blvd west 20.4 miles to Olema. Turn right onto Hwy 1 and go 2 miles. Turn left onto Sir Francis Drake Blvd and go 19 miles (allow about 30 minutes for this segment). Just after you pass the last dairy ranch (Ranch A) at the "V" in the road, go left, the parking lot is at the end.
