In Point Reyes Station, the Station House Café offers a seasonal dinner menu and live music on Sunday evenings, while down the street at Side Street Kitchen, you can get your fill of farm-to-table comfort food. This area is known as a bit of a foodie haven, so you won’t be hard pressed to find a spot to splurge on some good eats. You can also see the park from the seat of a mountain bike along trails that will take you past pristine forests, beaches, and marsh land. For a bit of wildlife viewing, take the Tomales Point Trail to Windy Gap, which will take you past the Tule Elk Reserve for a sighting of the majestic creatures. Park at the on-site lot and take your pick of trails to wander in the afternoon: there’s Limantour Road, which will take you all the way down to the beach, and the Kule Loklo Trail from the Bear Valley Visitor’s Center which leads to a replica of a Coastal Miwok village. It’s about a 20-minute drive from town into the Point Reyes National Seashore, where HI Point Reyes sits pretty perched up in the hills. If you’re in town over the weekend, load up on fresh fruits and veggies at the all-local Saturday farmer’s market to enjoy back at the hostel.

Toby’s also stocks gourmet foods, olive oil, Point Reyes paraphernalia, and at the back of the building there’s a free art gallery featuring a different Northern California artist every month.
If you need sun salutations to help you face the day, try a drop-in class at Point Reyes Yoga, also on the grounds of Toby’s Feed Barn. Grab your breakfast from the walk-up window café and enjoy it in the sweet community garden space in back of the barn. At Toby’s Feed Barn, which is more than just a country store for pet food, hay, and grain, you can fuel up for the day with an organic tea, espresso drink, or pastry from Toby’s Coffee Bar. Start your adventure on the right foot by making a beeline for the little town of Point Reyes Station, the type of place where the locals seem to all know each other and there’s a Main Street that serves as a community hub. We’ve got the perfect two-day itinerary to help you make the most of your Northern California escape. HI Point Reyes is operating several private vacation-rental-style units until the pandemic lifts, so it’s a convenient base for you and your pod to get in touch with nature and explore the sweet small towns nearby. The Point Reyes National Seashore may be secluded, but with mountains and meadows, forests and beaches, 150 miles of hiking trails, and thousands of species of plants and animals, the park is the kind of place where “middle of nowhere” meets “plenty to do.” Get right into the heart of it all by checking into HI Point Reyes, the only non-camping lodging in the Point Reyes National Seashore.
