Arch Rock Loop via Glen Trail, Coast Trail and Bear Valley Trail

Starting from Glen Campground, this loop leaves the quiet backcountry camp area on the Glen Trail, crossing wooded ridges, small drainages, coastal scrub and open grassy slopes before bending westward toward the exposed Pacific side of Point Reyes National Seashore.

The route then follows the Coast Trail toward the Miller Point and former Arch Rock area, where the sheltered inland landscape gives way to ocean bluffs, sea stacks, surf-facing headlands and broad views over the wild shoreline.

After exploring the coastal edge, the loop turns inland on the Bear Valley Trail, tracing a gentler valley corridor with creekside vegetation, forest shade and meadow openings before climbing back through the Glen Trail network to the campground.
