"L-O-V-E-D being guided by Margaret at Stornetta. Breath-taking scenery and secret nooks. We thoroughly enJOYed this hike. Margaret is so knowledgeable, FUN, and shares her love of nature. Margaret and Phil were AWESOME! Can't wait to do another hike together! " Denise H, - San Carlos, CA

"If you really want to maximize the beauty (of touring the Stornetta Lands), organize a tour with Unbeaten Path. Energetic owner and tour guide Margaret Lindgren specializes in the area. She'll take you to all the less-trodden nooks along the way and fill you with knowledge about the history of the region. It doesn't get much better than this!" - excerpt from "What to Do in Mendocino County"  - Carolyn Alburger, Zagat Regional Editor, San Francisco, CA.

Located just north of Bowling Ball Beach and the town of Point Arena in Mendocino County, Point Arena - Stornetta Unit of the California Coastal National Monument System is a very special place abundant in significant natural resources, including important wildlife habitats, several riparian corridors, extensive wetlands, cypress groves, meadows and sand dunes.   WOW!  The coastal cliffs, rock outcropings and sea stacks (as shown in our tour photos) make for great photography and breathtaking views!  View seals, sea lions, whales, sea birds and more! A wonderful and protected environment we are very fortunate to visit! Learn about geology, history, oceanography, flora, fauna, the Point Arena Lighthouse and more! 

DURATION: These lands are extensive and we do our best to provide the most for your time and money.  We offer an approximate 2 hour tour and, for additional fees, we can extend the duration up to 3 hours (many guests that like to walk prefer this option - see below).  

DIFFICULTY:  2 BOOT (see boot ratings) 
This is a newly dedicated National Monument and a trails committee is currently in the process of designating permanent trails.  This is raw, natural and open landscape to walk.  

DISTANCE:  Approximately 3.5 to 4 miles and varies depending on our arrangement with guests - we include a nice break at the halfway point and take our time along the trail.

Extended Tour version is 3 hours and is approximately 6 +/- miles.  We found most guests wanted to continue to see all of the Stornetta Lands - this tour provides this option.
