Palomarin To Wildcat Backpacking Camp At Pt Reyes

Overview

This is a great hike that you can do in a day at about 5.5 miles each way, or combine it into an overnight trip to the Wildcat campground like we did on this trip.

It’s a heavily trafficked trail, so get to the trailhead early – more on that later!

Trail Description

This is an “easy” route in the sense that there’s no scrambling or technical stuff involved.

We saw people in everything from full-on hiking and backpacking gear (us), to people out for a day at the beach in street shoes and flip flops.

It’s fairly wide in most places which is nice, you’re able to pass people pretty easy going in both directions. There’s a few stretches of single track depending on vegetation growth and season.

Overall, pretty tame with some great views, especially right near the beginning and again as you approach the Wildcat campground.
