This hike makes a grand loop highlighting the variety of features in Point Reyes National Seashore. Along the way are peaceful meadows and valleys, lush forested highlands, big coast views, a walk down beautiful Sculptured Beach, rolling coastal bluffs and Arch Rock. You may see deer, birds, sea lions and perhaps a bobcat. The hike can be shortened via alternate routes but only by skipping some of the best features, so it's best if you're comfortable with and prepared for the full distance.
