Ranger Programs

Framed by a doorway, a small group of people watches a park ranger gesture in front of the open ocean.
Attending a ranger program can give you a new perspective on the park.

Ranger programs provide the opportunity for visitors to learn more about the natural and cultural wonders of Point Reyes National Seashore. Discover history hidden in plain sight, explore new horizons on a guided hike, or plan your visit around one of our special events. Browse the Park Calendar below to find the perfect program for you!

Some programs allow you to "drop-in" for your chosen duration as you travel through the park, while others require showing up at a designated start time. Click "View Details" under each calendar listing for more information regarding location, times, and if a reservation is required.

 

Rangers are sometimes able to accommodate special program requests for groups visiting the park, depending on staffing availability. Please call 415-464-5100 or contact us for more information; advanced notice is appreciated and increases the likelihood rangers will be able to accommodate your request.
