The crashing water over the falls, the ferns and the beach walk below. Then there were horses cantering up the beach-I felt like I was in a scripted set. Breath-taking!

My friend and i spent the afternoon hiking in Point Reyes National Park. We took the Coast Trail from Palomarin Trailhead to Alamere Falls. It was beautiful and such a nice afternoon.

Not only are the falls beautiful, the hike in and out is fab. Early spring, or a clear late winter day is the best....the wildflowers coming from Bolinas are amazing. The walk along the water breathtaking.

The day started out slightly chilly in mid-December, so I dressed up in many layers. The hike to the falls is a little under 4 miles long one-way, and is moderately easy to do. There are some hills, though the are manageable. As I progressed along the hike, it got balmier and warmer. I was taking many of the layers... More

My husband and I hiked to Alamere Falls and even though it took about 2 hours hiking time to get there it was well worth the wait! What makes this hike different is the ponds, lakes and scenery passed along the way. We stopped to take several pics and look around so the hike was especially long on the way... More
