Description

Today, we’re heading to the west coast to visit Point Reyes National Seashore.  We explore the remarkable tule elk, once believed to be extinct, the massive elephant seals, and the rich history of the seashore.  

Junior Rangers are explorers, learning all about the park’s ecosystems, plants and animals, and how to protect nature.  The Junior Ranger program is not just for kids! It's for the young and the young at heart!

(*Additions & Corrections: What is a group of elephant seals called? There are many names for a group of elephants seals including: a pack, a herd, a colony, a rookery, a bob, and a large group of females that surround an alpha and beta male are called a harem.)

All of our episodes are created by trail lovers, for trail lovers. We’ve especially enjoyed what we previously called “Trail Lovers” episodes, inspired by our passion for hiking. Originally, these were intended to be the episodes where we highlighted hikes and shared more about our travels. Over time, those details just naturally worked their way into every episode where we talk about a place we’ve visited.

Any trail or hike we mention is shared as a genuine recommendation, and one of our favorite ways to revisit and present our park experiences is by drawing from Robin’s travel journal or reviewing our itineraries to highlight the very best moments. We’ll continue including the term “Trail Lovers” in episode descriptions and occasionally mention it within the episodes themselves, because in truth, all of our episodes are Trail Lovers episodes—created by Trail Lovers and Nature Lovers, for Trail Lovers and Nature Lovers.

A Special Thanks to Point Reyes National Seashore!
