If the cypress tunnel above looks familiar, that is because it is the same tunnel featured on this site’s intro page. When I stumbled across a photo of this spot on someone’s random blog back in 2017 I instantly knew I had to find it when I took my vacation in late September. And it was everything of which I had dreamed…except for the dense fog that refused to lift during my two-hour stay.
But, interestingly, though the isolated spot in Point Reyes has become much more popular since then (it even has it’s own little page on the California parks site), I still have not come across one from a foggy morning. So, I guess I got lucky. And it is one of my favorite photos I’ve taken, to be sure.
When I took a trip to NorCal again last month, I visited the cypress tunnel again, this time on a bright sunny morning. And I still loved it. How can you not? But please note: if you get a chance to visit, the entrance is now blocked off due to people literally parking in between the trees for several years so they could get their pointless selfies. You can still walk the tunnel, obviously - although I wonder how long before someone ruins that for us, too.
Please be sure to check out my previous blog posts. They are all that remains of the first incarnation of my blog as I have decided to do things differently and hopefully, for more eyes. Thanks for visiting. :)
