Here's what Wendy promises for this hike: "A beautiful level walk. This is the only site in Marin for the rare coast lily which should be in bloom. (Let’s hope the cows didn’t eat them!) We could also see orchids like ladies’ tresses, white-flowered bog orchid, and Tofeldia as well as Hooker’s evening primrose, and the endangered California bluebells, Point Reyes checkerbloom, and large flowered Linanthus. One year we saw the endangered Point Reyes blue butterfly."
Here are the directions to the trailhead (carpool leaves St. Rita's at 8:50 am): Take Sir Francis Drake Blvd. west to Olema. Turn right on Rt.1, then make an immediate left onto Bear Valley Rd. Continue past Park Headquarters (don't turn in) and go left when you hit Sir Francis Drake again. Go through Inverness. Go left at the "Y" and pass the AT+T station. The Bull Point parking lot will be on your left. No restrooms on trailhead or en route.
The National Weather Service forecast (as of Saturday, July 5th) for Tuesday is good: Sunny, with a high near 71. (Click here for an updated forecast).
