Hike the Tule Elk Preserve to Tomales Point in Point Reyes
Advertisement
Witness a conservation success story in action alongside fantastic ocean views as we hike out to the coastal bluffs of Tomales Point!
Point Reyes National Seashore, home to the Tule Elk Preserve, hosted thousands of elk before they were hunted to extinction on the peninsula in the late nineteenth century. In all of California (which in the case of the native Tule elk means on the planet as a whole), there were probably fewer than a dozen Tule elk remaining before conservation efforts began in 1874. After receiving federal protection in 1971, the Tule elk herds made an incredible comeback; there are about 400 elk in the Point Reyes population, but their statewide numbers are closer to 4,000! And the most dramatic part about the Tule Elk Preserve story? It all began with the reintroduction of only 10 elk to Tomales Point in 1978.
