POINT ARENA PUBLIC LANDS

Note: all photos by Bob Rutemoeller

Meet at 9:50 at pullout for Gualala business directory and at 10:00 at Anchor Bay (west side of Hwy 1) to carpool and start at Point Arena City Hall at 10:30. Walk the new section of Point Arena Public Lands to the end and return. This is shorter than our usual hikes which will give us a lot of time to linger and look at the views of the ocean, the rocks, the Arena Cove, etc. This is mostly coastal grassland so there isn't much elevation change, but the ground is uneven and there are gopher holes like we find in the Stornetta Public Lands so good hiking shoes are helpful. If by then the middle section between this and Stornetta has been purchased, we may be able to walk further before we turn around. There are some places we can sit and eat our lunches with a world class view.
