Point Reyes National Seashore On the western shores of Marin County, California
		Point Reyes National Seashore is a beautiful place to go hiking or camping, located only 20 miles from San Francisco. Having been there on numerous occasions, I have a few pictures from the trail to "Arch Rock." This 4 mile hike (in each direction) from the parks' headquarters in Olema, runs through forests, open fields, hills and finally to the Pacific Ocean. Just another reason why I can't imagine I would want to live anywhere else.

The hole beneath the bulk of Arch Rock is roughly 12' high and 25' wide Click for the Full Image The Pacific Ocean is truly a powerful entity Click for the Full Image A wall of water crashes in. I forgot where I was standing I was so excited when I snapped this shot. It nearly cost me two broken legs, a fractured skull, months of rehab, and most importantly, the camera! This wall had to have been 12' high!

The seagulls spend less time on Arch Rock than they do on this white covered outcropping Click for the Full Image
