WHY POINT REYES?
Point Reyes National Seashore is one of California's most spectacular coastal landscapes. Rugged cliffs, windswept beaches, rolling coastal bluffs, and lush forests create a place where wildlife and wild beauty thrive. We'll spend the weekend exploring scenic trails, taking in sweeping ocean views, and slowing down enough to enjoy campfires, nourishing meals, and meaningful connection with nature and one another.

ABOUT THE HIKE
We'll begin our hike at Coast Trailhead, and hike ~2.8 miles on a wide fire road with relatively gentle grades to Coast Camp. Expect to carry a ~25lb backpack - we'll share training plan upon sign up to help you prepare. Once at camp, we'll take shorter walks along the beach.
"What an incredible trip! Highlights were the hikes, yoga practice, and simply connecting with a diverse group of women. I appreciated the help with the camping gear, which made it feel much more accessible to me (a beginner camper)."
