Alamere Falls Trail - Point Reyes California
Alamere Falls 9/11/2017 - Point Reyes National Seashore, CA
Alamere Falls is a beautiful waterfall in Point Reyes National Seashore. It consists of upper and lower falls flowing into the ocean. It cascades over steep bluffs at Alamere Creek Beach. Upper falls separately fall along the stream on the ledge of the bluffs. Lower falls cascade down the bluffs directly into the beach.
Alamere Falls hike starts with Coastal Trail from Palomarin Trailhead in Bolinas. The hike to the waterfall is about 8.5 miles RT, and there is a slight elevation loss/gain, but not significant. Trail is in good condition overall, except some uneven eroded sections here and there. After passing two lakes (Bass Lake and Pelican Lake), you come to a cairn (arrow sign of rocks) pointing to the route to the waterfall. The path looks like a narrow tunnel covered with vegetation. Be wary of poison oak as you go through the narrow path. If you opt out taking the path to the waterfall at the cairn, there's a route recommended by NPS....continue Coastal Trail north to Wildcat Camp and trek south along the beach at low tide to reach the waterfall.
Scrambling down/up the shale bluffs from the path to upper falls and further down to lower falls at the beach can be a bit challenging as it is steep. Make sure of secure handhold and footing as you go.
Bring enough water to stay hydrated as half of the trail is exposed and provides no shade. Parking is free and restroom is available. Plan the journey according to tides for viewing the waterfall from the beach.

Hike to Alamere Falls, Point Reyes California
Hello!! This video displays the trail to Alamere Falls and how beautiful the trail is. Enjoy!! :)

Alamere Falls in Point Reyes, California
Alamere Falls is a waterfall in Point Reyes National Seashore, Marin County, California. Alamere Falls is a rare tidefall, a waterfall that flows directly into the ocean. It is one of only two in the area, the other being McWay Falls.
Alamere Falls can be reached by following the Coast Trail from the Palomarin Trailhead. After about a mile and a half, the trail will pass along two small lakes (Bass Lake and Pelican Lake). Bass Lake can be accessed by a side trail that leads to a rope swing, and hikers will often stop for a swim during summer months.
The hike to Alamere Falls in Point Reyes National Seashore is one of the best Bay Area gems and a landmark for any park enthusiast. It's almost a rite of passage to touch the falls, and like anything worth seeing, you will need all day to access it. This is a moderate to strenuous 13-mile roundtrip hike with ocean views, backcountry lakes and lush vegetation. You will want to bring plenty of water and snacks, or consider reserving a campsite at Wildcat Camp and make a weekend of it. The unique waterfall generates from Alamere Creek, which falls over the coastal bluffs right onto the beach, and is one of only two falls in the state like this. The falls remain all year, but are best after winter and spring rains.
To get to Alamere Falls, park at the Palomarin trailhead in the southern end of the park. You will take the Coast Trail to Wildcat Camp, then hike south down the beach until you see the falls. Please note, the old Alamere Falls trail is closed indefinitely due to storm damage and erosion. Depending on the season, you may want to consider a swim in nearby Bass Lake (be aware that no lifeguard is on duty), and be careful for poison oak and stinging nettle. Once you approach Wildcat Camp you can access the beach, where you want to go south about a mile down the beach towards the falls.

Backpacking Point Reyes - Bear Valley Trail, Arch Rock, Wildcat Campground

Road Trip to Point Reyes | U-turn to the lighthouse
Come and join our journey to Point Reyes Lighthouse.
U-turn to the Point Reyes lighthouse!
Today, We went to Point Reyes National Seashore! It was a long and crazy day but the view was worth it. Its about an hour and a half North of San Francisco, took N-101 to Route 1 which is a long and winding road, the view is amazing during daytime but i do not recommended driving in at night because the road is pretty narrow. It has been raining lately, so there’s also some flooded area so be careful driving. We wanted to go to the Lighthouse first, but missed our turn to Drakes Beach. POV’s are not allowed to the lighthouse road, unless you have special permits. So we got rerouted ended up at the South beach, a beautiful ocean view with big crazy waves. After taking few pictures, we drove back to Drakes Beach and purchase a ticket $7/person, which allows you ride the bus to the lighthouse then it goes to Chimney rock which is the second stop and then back to the visitor center. At the lighthouse, we had to walk about 0.4miles from the bus stop to the top of the lighthouse, then it’s about 308 steps down. We didn't know that theres gonna be hiking involved and that theres no food/store near by, we forgot to bring some snacks but good thing is we did bring water bottle. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND bring some food and water! After one hour, we hiked back to the bus stop and decided to go back to Drakes Beach. We arrived at the parking lot around 03:30PM, next destination is Cypress tree tunnel and Shipwreck so stay tuned for the next video.

Alamere Falls Hike, Pt. Reyes National Seashore California
The hike to Alamere falls in Pt. Reyes is spectacular. These falls plunge 40 feet to the beach below. But what hike isn't spectacular there? If you want to get out of the valley heat, take a day trip to this magical place. Just give yourself plenty of travel time as the traffic is horrible from Sacramento to the coast these days!
Two Days Backpacking Point Reyes National Seashore
I spent two days and one-night backpacking at Point Reyes National Seashore, in April of 2106.
DAY 1 - 9.5 miles, +1149’
I headed out on Friday morning to get in line at the Bear Valley Visitor Center before they opened. I was hopeful for a walk-up camping reservation/backpacking permit. It was my intention to try to hike for three days and camp for two nights. I was able to get one night of camping at Wildcat Camp. This is on the coast of the Southern sector of Point Reyes National Seashore. The southern sector is also known as the Phillip Burton Wilderness.
After securing my backpacking permit, and being talked into a beach campfire permit by the ranger on duty, I headed down the Bear Valley Trail. A wide fire road with gentle slopes and heavy tree cover. For most of the 3 miles, a creek meanders beside and crisscrossing the road.
At the 3 mile mark, I took the Glen Trail west, and the terrain immediately changed. The wide fire road gave way to narrow overgrown single-single track with a steady upslope. After 1.3 miles, this stinging nettle lined trail summits at close to 800 ft ASL where it meets the Coast Trail. I followed this trail South along the coast on the high bluff for another 2.5 miles to Wildcat Camp.
Wildcat camp is like a corn maze, but seven-foot high wild mustard. It took me a few minutes to find my assigned camp in the maze but eventually found my site. It had a food locker, a picnic table, and a charcoal grill. The campground hand well-maintained vault toilets, trash cans, and potable, although unpleasant tasting water.
It was late afternoon when I arrived so I set up camp, ate lunch, and then headed south on the beach for a 2.5 mile round trip to Alamere Falls. The beauty of the seasonal falls was well worth the side hike.
I got back to Wildcat beach and enjoyed a small fire before returning to my camp for dinner and turning in for the night.
Day 2 - 17.7 miles, +2649’
I woke up before the sun, had breakfast and broke camp early. I had made a tentative plan for my hike for the day.
I headed back up the trail to the bluff to the Ocean Lake Loop south 1.4 miles to catch the Coast Trail again. This is a beautiful, lush section of trail that passes Wildcat Lake and Ocean Lake. Just a half-mile further and I reached the unmarked upper Alamere Falls spur. This is a densely overgrown 1-mile round trip to see the upper side of the falls. A cliff scramble from here could take you down to the beach, although it's not recommended.
I had intended to take the Crystal Lake Trail East shortly after getting back on the Coast Trail but found it was closed. It does not appear that there is any longer access to Crystal Lake. So I continued south for 1.4 miles Past spectacular views of Pelican Lake and Bass Lake, then I found the Lake Ranch Trail, which I took East into the Heart of the Phillip Burton Wilderness. This trail is 3 miles of steady uphill over very overgrown single-track with a constant barrage of stinging nettles. I lost count after thirty painful stings. But I don’t regret taking this trail. It is truly remote, with many different eco-zones. And even on a very busy weekend I only encountered one other hiking pair on this trail. The wildflowers on this trail were spectacular.
The Lake Ranch Trail gives way to the Ridge Trail. Which true to its name follows the ridge until coming around a 1300 foot peak named Firtop. This area is aptly named as it is beautiful towering Douglas Fir forest. This section of the Ridge Trail is about 1.4 miles until it crosses the Stewart Trail and becomes Greenpicker Trail.
Now it was time to descend. The Greenpicker trail is more heavily used and therefore more maintained. With gravel patches and occasional stairs. It is a steep descent through still heavy fir and occasional bay. In a few areas, the heavy woods give way for spectacular views of the valley near Olema. In 2.5 Miles Greenpicker Trail joined the Stewart fire road. That takes you the final mile to Horse Camp and The Rift Zone trail.
This was the most difficult part of the day for me. I was at 13 miles in and realized I had over 4 miles to go to reach my car. I had planned on pushing myself, however, this would be 5 miles more than I had hiked in recent memory and with a full pack.
The remainder of the trip was along the Rift Zone Trail. This is a gentle meander through woods and meadows at about 250 feet elevation. It is apparently a trail easement across a private religious retreat, and they post a great deal of signage to remind you. At the 16 mile mark, I had to cross a half-mile pasture of beef cattle, an odd thing on a Hindu retreat. Twice I was charged by aggressive cows, which I reported the next day to the rangers.
The sense of accomplishment I felt at finishing this trip, over 17 miles in one day and more than 26 in two days was overwhelming and I broke down for a min in my car.
