Leaving the city behind, we headed towards Point Reyes National Seashore. In this area there were sandy beaches, coastal cliffs, green grasslands, and forested ridges. We spotted a lot of wildlife throughout the day, including elk, seals, and a coyote.
In the grasslands, there were Tule Elk, which are a subspecies of elk only found in California. We saw a herd of about 20 cows and another her of about 15 bulls. Seeing the massive antlers on the male elk was awesome! On the beach we saw Elephant seals were soaking up the sunshine. When walking past them on the beach, they barely acknowledged our presence. We enjoyed hiking along the wildflowers while seeing the distant coast line and the raging ocean.
