    Hiking

    Chimney Rock is located on the eastern tip of the Point Reyes Headlands. The Chimney Rock area is a popular destination for visitors looking to see elephant seals, birds and wildflowers. The 1.75-mile (2.8 km) round trip Chimney Rock Trail follows the crest of a narrow peninsula and offers spectacular views of Drakes Bay and the south-east coast. The historic Chimney Rock Lifeboat Station offers a glimpse into the harrowing task of rescuing crew and passengers from ships that have run aground along this rugged coastline.
    Translated by
    From the tip of the eastern peninsula of Point Reyes the clifftop view is several hundred feet above Chimney Rock, often engulfed by the waves below.
