Enjoy spectacular ocean scenery, spring wildflowers and wildlife viewing on a hike through the Tule Elk Preserve with a nature writer who has assisted park biologists with tule elk studies for over 16 years. You'll enjoy many opportunities to watch elk behavior up close through spotting scopes and discover fascinating aspects of elk behavior. As we hike the granite ridges between Pacific Ocean cliffs and the wilderness shoreline of Tomales Bay, we'll explore the reasons tule elk nearly disappeared forever and the efforts leading to their remarkable recovery at Point Reyes National Seashore. Our journey will also likely spark your curiosity about other secrets of the Tomales Point peninsula: wildflowers, Coast Miwok heritage, Gold Rush-era ranching, San Andreas fault geology, raptors, coyotes, and more. Also open to youth (age 10 to 17) with attending parent.
