Looking for a day hike in Point Reyes with a little bit of everything? The 8.2 mile RT from the Bear Valley Visitor Center to Arch Rock has just that. With just a gradual incline going out towards the ocean, you pass through meadows, old oak trees and Douglas Firs on a wide and easy path. You can also take your bike the first 3 miles and lock it on the racks provided, then hike the 1.1miles to the ocean.

Limantour Beach
Looking for a beach just a little out there...?
We have the solution:
Hot days in Marin County are easy to deal with! At Limantour, you can have all the sand and ocean to yourself as you want. From Olema, take Bear Valley Road past the Visitor Center towards Inverness. Take a left turn onto Limantour Road and continue about 15 minutes to the water. Stay cool~

Estero Trail at Drakes Bay
Begin at the Muddy Hollow Road trailhead off Limantour Road in Point Reyes. This is an easy 6.5 mile loop hike with little elevation and great views of Drakes Bay. The trail is very narrow at some parts, but it opens up most the way. Listen to herds of Tule Elk bellowing in the distance with the sounds of cows in the background!

Finding the Earthquake Trail
A great idea for the family, the EARTHQUAKE TRAIL (1 km / 0.6 mi.) is a short, easy, and informative hike.
It is a short paved loop which explores the San Andreas Fault Zone. Interpretive signs describe the geology of the area. This trail begins at the southeast corner of the Bear Valley Picnic Area in Olema, just across the street from the Bear Valley Visitor Center.
Just before the big quake that shook San Francisco in April, 1906, this fence was continuous. Afterward, it had moved to where you see it now, a distance of about 20 feet.
