Point Reyes National Seashore?
Apologies in advance if this isn’t the appropriate sub for this question.
Me and my wife will be in the bay area in late July. I’m running the SF Half Marathon. We’ll have a rental car and I want to take a day trip a couple days before the race and go on a short, easy hike (~2-3 miles) with coastal views & maybe have a picnic along the trail as well. Our place is in Mill Valley. I’m eyeing Point Reyes National Seashore, which is about an hour away.
My question is, is it worth the extra drive to go to Point Reyes for such a short hike or should we settle for something closer (i.e. Golden Gate National Recreation Area, Mt. Tamalpais State Park, etc.)?
Any trail recommendations?
