Point Reyes National Seashore









Another fabulous contact with California's natural beauty was a day trip to a place with the unlikely name of the Point Reyes National Seashore, north-west of San Francisco in Marin County. This was a second concact with Highway 1 which hugged the cost to the park, almost as beautiful as in the Big Sur. We hiked for about three hours through fragrant grasslands above steep cliffs, hawks hovering constantly overhead, past herds of Tule Elk, which have been brought back from the verge of extinction (at the end of the 19th century, there were just 10 animals left).
