Point Reyes — overgrown trail alert
Did just a few days there at Sky camp. Just be warned — taking Sky trail past Sky camp gets progressively more overgrown to the point of almost fully so. Saw a hiker turn back. It was ridiculous. Ended up trudging through to the coast still.
Kelham beach isn’t accessible to my dismay. You could technically go down but the steep dirt path back up would be super difficult. Risk being trapped. Apparently you cant hike directly down to Sculptured beach for the same reason but I didn’t check it out.
Took Woodward Valley and Fire Lane trails as well and also heavily overgrown.
Endured stinging nettle, scapes by blackberry and occasional poison oak but didn’t see a single tick.
FYI if anyone’s going. I don’t know the reason why (last year was bad too) but they should just close these trails officially if they can’t maintain them.
Been coming here for twenty years — don’t know what’s happened.
