Trail Description:
Bodega Head is a land mass off the California coast just north of Pt. Reyes. It provides opportunities to see flowers adapted to often harsh coastal climates seen no where else in the world. Luckily, we had the good fortune of having a local expert as a guide. The first part of our hike was across from West Side Park. From here we moved out to the headlands.
After a chilly hike, go warm up with perhaps some of the best clam chowder you've ever had at Spud Point Crab Company,
1860 Westshore Road.
