MALT Hike at Millerton Creek Ranch
MALT-protected since 2018, the 862 windswept acres is home to beef cattle and to the pasture-raised hens of Tomales Bay Pastures, and sits just east of Highway 1 between Point Reyes Station and Marshall. Steelhead and coho salmon have historically traveled from Tomales Bay up Millerton Creek to spawn, and the creek, which carves steep ravines through the ranch, continues to provide essential wildlife habitat.
This hike is moderate to difficult, about a 3 mile loop with 500 feet of elevation gain, and may be slippery if it rains. Along the hike you will experience beautiful rolling hills and views of Tomales Bay, and you will have the opportunity to take home fresh farm eggs right from the source (while supplies last)! An alternate hike that is 1.3 miles out and back and 300 feet of elevation gain is also an option.
Learn more about how MALT has partnered with Mike and Morgan Giammona at Millerton Creek Ranch to be good stewards of the land, including through a small grant to fund a solar-powered chicken tractor. And feel free to bring a friend or two with you – the more, the merrier!
