Point Reyes... backpacking wilderness of my youth, memories of rainstorms, fog, wind, breathtaking vistas...

Now that I'm an old fart, I just wanted fog and cold to provide some respite from searing heat accosting the rest of the state of CA and AZ. And she delivered in droves! A quick overnight with the wife to Sky Camp was just what was needed. Took the well trodden and refreshingly steep Sky Trail from Bear Valley 2.5ish miles up to the camp rather than the easier access from Limantour road. Ferns, Lichens, Redwoods, Wildflowers, Blackberries, Poison Oak (seriously, don't go to Point Reyes if you don't know how to spot poison oak!), Deer, Wind, Cold --- everything we wanted for a quick overnight getaway. We took the comparatively less traveled Meadow Trail (judging simply by the trail maintenance and width). A very nice stroll and numerous deer in the meadows. No views though. Socked in with fog the whole time. No regrets there though :lol:

I met up with my sister and her finace in Santa Rosa this weekend and we ventured out to Point Reyes for a day of exploring the coast. After one hike to see the ocean, we decided to get more of a workout in and hit the park highpoint in the process. Mout Wittenberg is a very nice little peak with great deal of vegetation to observe on your way to the top.

Beautiful area. A ranger told me that there were far fewer people in the park than normal because of the fog and cloudy skies. This is definitely an area I'll be hitting up in the near future.
