This is lovely place to spend a spring day. We’ll descend through a shaded forest as we make our to Tomales Bay where we’ll enjoy lunch on a beautiful secluded beach. Along the way we’ll pass through Bishop pines, tunnels of tanoaks, and lush marshy areas. We should be serenaded by songbirds as we look for wildflowers and, if we’re lucky, we may be entertained by bat rays while we eat. Total distance: 3 miles. Elevation change: 475' including a sustained uphill climb. This walk is offered in partnership with State Parks. Remember to bring lunch, and binoculars if you have them. No pets are allowed, except for service/companion animals. Adverse weather or poor air quality may cancel. Registration is required.
Questions: Contact Shannon Burke
Directions: Meet at the Jepson/Johnstone 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 6.4 miles to Pierce Point Road. Go right 1.0 miles, parking lot is on the right (just after the sign "450-570 Pierce Point Rd"). If you get to the entrance to Heart’s Desire you’ve gone too far.
