Drake's Beach, Pt. Reyes
Named after the famed explorer, Sir Francis Drake, Drakes Beach is part of the scenic Point Reyes National Seashore. If you're looking to spend a day and an evening at the beach, grab some snacks and some firewood and head out to Drakes Beach.

Chimney Rock
Chimney Rock is a 1.8-mile out-and-back, single-track trail. The trailhead gets crowded (even on weekdays) with amateur and professional photographers, as well as nature lovers clutching field guides. Hikers seeking a quiet nature experience may wish to look elsewhere. The display is impressive, though. Carpets of flowers such as goldenfields, blue-eyed grass, and mule ear sunflowers, are drama...

If you're lucky you might either get a chance to take in the harbor seals or grey whales. Keep in mind that you should stay to the southeast...

The trail is alive and awash with colorful wildflowers around every corner.Beginning at the trailhead, just off Home Ranch Road, with a convenient parking lot and bathroom, you'll wade through a half mile of waist high grass, until you reach an oasis of pine forest. Slather on the sunscreen, as th...
Photograph the Cypress Tree Tunnel in Point Reyes
Just north of San Francisco, there's a row of giant Monterey cypress trees that forms a “tree tunnel”. Loved by Bay Area locals, it's a tucked away spot in the Point Reyes National Seashore for photographers to capture early morning sun rays, or for anyone to get some moments of solitude.
At the end of the tunnel, you'll find the historic RCA/Marconi Station. In the early 1900s, this was a wire...
