Point Reyes National Seashore (Sky, Fire Lane, Coast, Woodward Valley Trails:
9.4 miles)

Views of Drake's Bay as we descend the Fire Lane Trail

Dense new growth is beginning to crowd out the Bishop Pine killed in the Mt. Vision fire

The lone Eucalyptus marks the spur trail to Santa Maria Beach

A stream meets the ocean at Santa Maria Beach

Even on a (rare) gorgeous day in high summer, the beaches at Point Reyes lack crowds

Interesting rock formation as we walk south on the Coast Trail

A favorite view north to Limantour Beach, from the Woodward Valley Trail

Another favoite view, this time to the south toward Double Point

Peeking through charred Bishop Pine to Drake's Bay

Healthy pines remain along the Woodward Valley Trail

Two views of the meadow at the junction of the Woodward Valley and Sky Trails

This picture highlights the Douglas Fir along the Sky Trail

                
Two views as we return uphill on the Sky Trail

The golden glow of late afternoon sunshine on the hills to the east

The hillside above Sky Camp

We came upon two grazing Fallow deer near the junction back at the Fire Lane Trail

This unusual white deer let us get quite close before wandering back into the woods

A final shot over Tomales Bay
