Last weekend, we planned on going to the Muir Woods, but our plans were foiled! In order to avoid overcrowding, Muir Woods now requires that cars reserve a parking spot before visiting the park. Since we found this out right before leaving, we quickly re-purposed our plans and instead went to Point Reyes.
Point Reyes is a park a half hour further than Muir Woods, with incredible cliff views. We intended to take a 13 mile route to see a waterfall on the beach, but were not able to find the correct path. We instead hiked to a beautiful view, and saw the waterfalls from the top.
There are countless other trails, so we will definitely be back.
