The spring wildflower season has just begun. Grab your camera and your hiking shoes and explore one of the most beautiful parks in the National Parks system. Pierce Point Ranch is home to an endemic species of Tule Elk as well as home to one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.  From the NPS "From its thunderous ocean breakers crashing against rocky headlands and expansive sand beaches to its open grasslands, brushy hillsides, and forested ridges, Point Reyes offers visitors over 1500 species of plants and animals to discover. Home to several cultures over thousands of years, the Seashore preserves a tapestry of stories and interactions of people. Point Reyes awaits your exploration."

You'll be led by a photographer who also once worked for the NPS to manage this Tule Elk herd and will share stories about the history of the elk and the conservation of Point Reyes.
