Point Reyes National Seashore is a peninsula that extends 10 miles out into the Pacific Ocean north of San Francisco. It is the best raw, rugged nature in this part of the state: dramatic cliffs, strong winds and crashing waves, elk and deer roaming the hills, and barking seals at the beaches. The lighthouse sits precariously down a large staircase at the very tip of the peninsula. Learn more about travel in Point Reyes here ( http://thisismyhappiness.com/2011/11/08/point-reyes/ )
