Visiting Point Reyes Station – Travel Photo Mondays
Let’s go for a drive along around the scenic countryside of Marin county in Northern California to visit the sweet little town of Point Reyes Station, it’s just on the outside of the Point Reyes National Seashore. It’s such a wonderful day again to spend outdoors and enjoy the beauty of the landscape in this area and visit the coastal areas of Point Reyes and the town that bears its name.

The road trip through the farmlands and forests of Marin county are gorgeous to pass through on this drive, bucolic rolling hills dotted with wildflowers, small farms and producers of artisanal foods from the region support this mostly agrarian lifestyle. Along the way are small villages and towns that if you blink, you’ve completely passed them in a blur, but not so for the small hamlet of Point Reyes station, a quaint stop for lunch and enjoying the cool galleries and quirky side of this fun town.

If your into art, there a many art galleries that feature local artists, crafters, jewelers and other artisans.

I was excited enough to post a comment 😉 I do have a few questions
for you if it’s okay. Is it just me or does it give the impression like a few of these remarks look like written by brain dead people?
😛 And, if you are writing at additional online social sites,
I would like to follow you. Could you make a list all
of all your social sites like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or
twitter feed?
I do not even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was good.
I don’t know who you are but definitely you’re going to a
famous blogger if you are not already 😉 Cheers!
I always love your photos! I was at Point Reyes Lighthouse many years ago and remember how beautiful it was in that area. Your photos have brought back memories…
What a beautiful serene landscape… love your first two shots especially. The hills and valleys are so lush, they seem to be basking in all the sunshine! Makes me want to wander through there and pick wildflowers all day 🙂
Your virtual tours are always a great journey Noel-although those deer heads were not my cup of tea! Desserts however, now you’re talking!
I’ve somehow missed Port Reyes. My favorite photo is of the “No Barking” sign. We could use that at our house!
I love Point Reyes. The Pacific Coast is one of the wonders of this world. Great post, where do you find all that cool graffiti?
I love going on your virtual photo journeys Noel 🙂
Beautiful place. I didn’t make it to the national park because the stupid government shut down, but I did drive along the coast and hit up some state parks. Amazing views and great hiking out there. I didn’t stop much in the towns.
I love how in addition to photographing the traditional things to see, you always find something out of the ordinary as well. However, for this post my favorites are the wildflowers. I can never get enough of those!
This is one of my favorite getaways. Love your images! I’ve written about this area myself, http://weekendadventuresupdate.blogspot.com/search/label/Point%20Reyes%20area
Your photos show that there are still many parts of California that are amazingly beautiful; little pieces of Americana unspoiled and untouched by the big cities. Thanks for the virtual tour!
I knew about Point Reyes, but not about Point Reyes Station. Looks like a colorful town. Love that fruit photo- just want to reach in and take a bite!
Point Reyes Station looks like a cool place to visit! I love how you always manage to find a beautiful mural ( and great food) wherever you go.
Beautiful place, so colorful…
Thanks for taking us on another great road trip around California, Noel! I have actually never heard of Point Reyes, but it looks like a nice town, set in beautiful countryside. While the deer heads look really sad, at least the community garden looks like a great project and the colorful coffee shop seems definitely like the perfect spot to sample some of the really delicious looking deserts… 🙂
Great photos Noel, I love the wildflower shot.
Point Reyes looks like a nice little town worth exploring!
I am enjoying your California posts Noel, because I don’t know the area at all. Bovine Bakery, No Barking and Wildflowers captured my eye today.
Point Reyes is a beautiful area – so much to see and experience. I’m not keen on the mounted deer head, but completely sold on the chocolate goodness! I can always find a bakery wherever we travel – it’s a gift! 😉 Thanks for the link-up opportunity this week, I linked up!
Would love to visit Point Reyes – landscape is beautiful, and the shops are quaint. The brownie cake is very tempting!
I LOVE Marin County. I was just there in November! I’m not sure if I made it to Reyes Station, but there are so many fabulous places to hike. I love your photo of the art gallery and all the flower pictures too!!!
Thanks for the virtual trip and the yummy cake!
