Description: We'll begin this classic Point Reyes hike at Bear Valley Visitor Center. We'll hike up Sky Trail via Meadow Trail, and Coast Trail down to gorgeous Kelham Beach for lunch. If it's at all clear we'll enjoy gorgeous ocean views. More than half of the hike will be in the shade, with several brief exposed sections near the coast.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED A RIDE AND/OR CAN TAKE A PASSENGER, AND WHAT YOUR COMFORT LEVEL IS REGARDING PASSENGERS.
Bring/Wear: Sturdy hiking shoes, sunscreen, lunch, snacks and LOTS of water.
Rain Policy: Canceled in the event of heavy rain.
Alternate Meeting Place: Bear Valley Visitor Center Exit 580 or 101 at San Anselmo/Sir Francis Drake Blvd. Take Sir Francis Drake all the way to where it meets Hwy 1 in Olema (20.4 miles). Turn right (north), and almost immediately you'll see the sign that points you to the left onto Bear Valley Rd. Look for a sign for the Visitor Center. We will be just to the left of the entrance (if it's open), near a big sign in the shade. Google Maps Link
