oastal 2 PDARCIVIFEICTHCEOBAESATUHTIIFGUHLWAYd entures People from all over the world come to this area just to drive the spectacular Pacific Coast Highway (Coastal Highway 1). From the Golden Gate Bridge, take the Muir Beach exit, just past Sausalito/Marin City. You will wind past beautiful beaches and past the Point Reyes National Seashore. Highway 1 continues along the coast, breaking off briefly to go through the town of Valley Ford before rejoining the coast at Bodega Bay. You will want to stop here at the Sonoma Coast Visitor Center, then try one of the great oceanside restaurants for some fresh fish, crab or clam chowder. Another option is to go Wine Surfing at Gourmet photo by Rich Fraguero photo by Rich Fraguero au Bay (but keep in mind, the road ahead is a winding road, so perhaps better1 STOAKNEOMA AHCIKOE AOSNT THE on the way back). Continue up the coast and you will pass numerous accessible beaches, including the extremely photogenic Goat Rock Beach. Sonoma Coast hiking options are diverse and plentiful, from sand dunes topeaks with trails offering vistas as far away as the San Francisco Golden Gate As you continue north, in approximately 10 miles you will encounter JennerBridge. by the Sea. The Russian River flows into the Pacific Ocean at Jenner. Relax andSonoma Coast State Park enjoy the pelicans in flight, the cormorants and sandpipers hunting for their dinner, and hear the harbor seals barking.

Jenner Inn offers lodgingfairly flat ground that is essentially an open prairie. with breathtaking views. And just a few miles north (about 12), Timber Cove InnSouth Sonoma Coast Bodega Head has a relatively short hiking trail that goes around the head-lands. This trail has spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean, Bodega Harbor,and the town of Bodega Bay. There is another trail that connects with the trailsystem found in the Bodega Dunes section of the park. Here you can walk alongthe headlands and on the beach. (On clear nights, Bodega Head is an excellentplace for star gazing!) Sonoma Coast Trail is a pretty bluff-top route that connects to some won-derful secret beaches. During spring, wildflowers brighten the bluff: blue lupine,Indian paintbrush and sea sage. Sonoma Coast Trail begins on the bluffs above Blind Beach, but hikers canalso begin at Goat Rock, located a half mile north of the trailhead. The rockis connected to the mainland by a causeway. During the 1920s, Goat Rock wasquarried, and used to build a jetty at the mouth of the Russian River. A mile north of the trailhead, and 0.5 miles north of Goat Rock, you willfind the mouth of the Russian River. The 110 mile-long river is one of the largeston the North Coast. At the river mouth, you can observe osprey nesting in thetreetops. The California brown pelican is one of several species of birds thatbreed and nest on Penny Island, located in the river mouth. Directions to trailhead: From Highway 1, ten miles north of the town ofBodega Bay, turn west on Goat Rock Road. Signed Sonoma Coast Trail beginsat a small parking lot on the left of the road. If you’d like to begin this walk atGoat Rock, continue to road’s end at a large parking area. Sonoma Coast Trail heads south along the edge of the bluffs. Soon, you’llstep over a stile and head across a pasture. The trail climbs to a saddle on theshoulder of Peaked Hill (elevation 376 feet). You then descend to the bluff tops,and cross a bridge over a fern-lined ravine. It’s a pastoral scene with grassybluffs and a weathered old barn in the distance. After crossing another ravine, the path reaches the Shell Beach parkingarea. A short trail descends the bluffs to Shell Beach. Another trail extendsnorthwest, crosses the highway, and reaches redwood-shaded Pomo Canyon.Picnic tables and walk-in (environmental) campsites are located near the creek.

He was looking for a remote area, free of interference from trees and moun- tains, giving him open and clear shots of sky.

Still standing today is the original schoolhouse in which Tippi Hedren and the schoolchildren took refuge, then tried to flee from the gulls and flocks of ravens. The ancient Potter School was condemned before the filming, so film crews shored it up.
