Point Reyes National Seashore: Tomales Point - Inverness California Hikes

Animal sightings are not uncommon in the Bay Area, but there are a few locations where you are nearly assured of a peek at undomesticated creatures. One of the best spots is Point Reyes’ Tomales Point. This hike is a 9.5-mile out-and-back trek on a remote peninsula where tule elk roam through coastal scrub and birds paddle in the ocean and soar through the skies. Bring binoculars, a hat, and a windbreaker.
