Spring at Point Reyes National Seashore

Tom Stienstra at SFGate:

Every March, it can be vital for people to stop for a day, go to their favorite spot in nature and take in the coronation of spring. There’s no better way to get a restart on life, especially when your real New Year’s resolutions can start taking hold.

I do this myself, over and over, after the arrival of spring — from the coast, to the desert, to the foothills, to the highest Sierra peaks — from now through July. For the next four months, there will be a pretty landscape somewhere in California where spring is just arriving.

The top spot now is on the coast, and there are hundreds of stellar spots you can choose, from Crescent City to Morro Bay. My favorite idea for a mind-clearing spring walk is to take the Coast Trail to Alamere Falls and back, or maybe turn the trip into an overnighter at Wildcat Camp.
