Item Description

 

Point Reyes National Seashore Association is over the moon to partner with Dancing Coyote Beach Cottages and naturalist Michael Ellis of Footloose Forays for a special two-night stay and a sunset walk in the park for up to four guests.

Start your two-night adventure by checking into one of Dancing Coyote Beach Cottages in Inverness, California. Choose from one of their four cottages each featuring a living room with a wood-burning fireplace, a fully furnished kitchen stocked daily with breakfast items, McRoskey mattresses, free Wi-Fi, and private decks with views of Tomales Bay. Enjoy birdwatching from your deck, or cozy up in one of the nooks to read or dream.

Your experience also includes a 2.5 half hour sunset evening walk with naturalist and esteemed world traveler Michael Ellis of Footloose Forays. Michael will tailor a sunset night walk in the park based on your group's interest and skill level. Plan your trip around the full moon for a magical glow - bring head lamps or flashlights, or walk along trusting your senses. Michael is truly one-of-kind, and is infectious with his enthusiasm and passion for the great outdoors. Descriptions of him include:

"Start with an encyclopedic knowledge of all the sciences, especially botany, biology and etymology, add the ability to articulate this knowledge rapid fire in lay terms, laced with humorous anecdotes; add genuine love of nature and teaching — Michael combines all these ingredients to enthuse people about nature."

As well as leading his own natural history forays, Michael also guides trips for Point Reyes National Seashore Association. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Botany and Masters in Marine Biology. He continues his life-long education by traveling the world learning and teaching classes.
