Point Reyes' Wildcat Camp via Coast Trail

In order to make this trip possible, go to recreation.gov and make a reservation for Wildcat Camp (available year-round). On your way to the trailhead, make sure to stop by the Bear Valley Visitor Center to grab your camping permit. For more information, visit: http://www.nps.gov/pore/planyourvisit/camping.htm.

Getting there from the Bear Valley Visitor Center is easy- follow HWY 1 south for 9 miles and turn right onto Olema-Bolinas Rd. Keep left to stay on Olema-Bolinas Rd, turn right onto Mesa Rd until you reach the parking lot at the end of the road. You'll begin by wandering through a eucalyptus grove and emerging onto numerous bluffs overlooking the ocean. This hike will hug the coastline for miles while snaking its way through densely packed flora and hidden coastal lakes. Watch for poison oak- it's hidden all along the trail.
