It’s about 3 miles long. Very tall and beautiful trees and a creek. Gorgeous views!! It was 16 of us ages 4 to 75. We all enjoyed it. Trees are just all different and beautiful to look at. Highly recommended if you’re in the area.

We've been wanting to visit for years and finally had a chance. We took the VIP 10am tour with Zane, and had extended family from ages 72 to 9. We all thoroughly enjoyed learning about the animals, riding in the vintage Land Rover and feeding the giraffes. Zane is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the animals and our elementary school age daughters were impressed that he could answer all but one of their numerous questions! We were really fortunate to have traveled to Kenya for a safari - seeing the animals again brought back wonderful memories. This preserve is well organized and well kept. Highly recommend a visit to this wonderful preserve!

On my RV road trip along the coast from N. Calif to Oregon, I stopped to see the Point Arena light house. The short drive from Highway 1 takes you by a cliff side area called the Pt. Arena-Stornetta. Wow! What an unexpected surprise. It's BIG, accessible to walk and enjoy the breathtaking rock formations, cliffs and of course the view of lighthouse only a short distance further on. This place is terrific for photo enthusiasts. My favorite spot is the natural arch cut by years of wind and waves. You have to watch your step as you make your way closer, but it's worth it.
