Meet
at 10:00 at the pullout for the Gualala business directory and at 10:10
at Anchor Bay (west side of Hwy 1) to carpool and start at Point Arena
City Hall at 10:30. Walk the trail next to the cove and then follow the
bluffs for spectacular ocean views. Expect to see blow holes, sea arches
and stacks, sink holes, caves, tunnels and more. We will walk to the
Lighthouse, and the leader will return the carpool drivers to City Hall
to retrieve cars. This is mostly coastal grassland so there isn't much
elevation change, but the ground is uneven and there are gopher holes so
good hiking shoes are helpful.

Carpool
at the pullout for Gualala business directory just north of bridge at
9:25 and at Stengel Beach Coastal Access parking area at 9:35. Hikers
with County Regional Park passes should drive. Please carpool as parking
spaces on the first part are limited. We will first hike the two bluff
sections of the trail. Then we will drive to the day use area and park.
We will hike through the beautiful forested canyon, cross a small
stream, then up along the ridge and then through the Canyon and down to
the Cove for lunch. Parts of this hike subject to change depending on
the conditions. After lunch we'll return to our cars. Dogs allowed on
leash and hiking sticks helpful for a few steep spots and river
crossing. This is a cell phone free hike so Annie Mills can join us.

at Anchor Bay at 9:45 south side of town on west side of highway. Start
at Moat Creek at MM 12.77 on way to Pt. Arena at 10:00. Hike the bluff
south to Bowling Ball Beach. Walk south on the beach to Schooner's
Gulch and then return via beach and bluff to Moat Creek for lunch. The
hike is mostly level, but there are two short steep stretches (up one
way and down another). The beach can be rocky and a bit challenging to
walk on in a few stretches.
