Franklin Point & Butano State Park: North Coast Explore!

Stay cool this Wednesday by hiking in the ocean breeze. We’ll be exploring Butano in the afternoon and then (extended option) catch the sunset at Franklin Point!

There is also a short walk in wetlands we can explore between Butano and Franklin Point, known to bird watchers. Combined, all three hikes would be about 7 miles & ~900’ elevation.

Join One or Both:
1) Moderate (4.5 miles) but strenuous hike in Butano
2) Sunset / Full Moon Rising! Starts w mellow walk through the Pescadero marshlands (bird habitat), finishing at Franklin Point for the celestial handover.

Full Details Coming!

Comment below, or message me, if you have questions.

Schedule (TBD):
4pm - Meet at Butano [Coming] HIKE
6:30pm — Meet at the marsh [“]
7:30pm -- Walk to Franklin Point: Meet at the "North Whitehouse Creek Trail" directly across Highway 1 from the main Costanoa entrance. Here is the route from Hwy 1 Brewing. Note there is another trail labelled Franklin Point, but we will walk the N Whitehouse trail. The parking area is not highly visible from the road, so watch for the big Costanoa sign (see image in photos).

Butano Parking: The main lot is convenient, but as a State Park you will want to bring an annual pass or pay a small fee (~$6-10).
