313 Steps to the Point Reyes Lighthouse — California Coast | 4K Hike 🌊

🌊 The full walk out to the Point Reyes Lighthouse — the half-mile from the parking lot along the headlands, all 313 steps down the cliff face, and the climb back up. Plus aerials over the point and the lighthouse at sunset. Filmed in 4K. 🪜 313 concrete steps drop about 240 feet down the bluff — the sign at the top warns it’s the equivalent of a 30-story building 🔢 The steps are numbered every ten, so you always know exactly how much is left 💡 Built in 1870 and manned until 1975, when it was automated and handed over to the National Park Service 🌫️ It sits 275 feet below the headland on purpose — fog at the top would have hidden a light built up there 💨 One of the windiest places in North America; the stairs close whenever winds top 40 mph 🔧 A $5.7 million restoration in 2018–19 rebuilt the prisms and clockwork — and added five steps at the top, which is why it’s 313 and not 308 🐋 Gray whales pass offshore in winter and spring, and there’s a seasonal shuttle during peak months ⚠️ The stairs are only open on certain days and only when the wind allows — check the NPS page before you drive out: nps.gov/pore 🥾 Fully paved the whole way, about 1.3 miles round trip 📍 Point Reyes Lighthouse, Point Reyes National Seashore, Inverness, California 🗺️ Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/?a... ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 🚁 Point Reyes From Above 2:08 🥾 The Walk Out to the Visitor Center 4:58 🏠 Inside the Lighthouse Visitor Center 6:12 🌊 Out to the Top of the Stairs 7:08 🪜 313 Steps Down 11:13 💡 The Equipment Building & the Lighthouse 15:33 🫁 The Climb Back Up 17:58 🚶 Top Step — Back to the Parking Lot 18:27 🌅 Sunset Over the Point 🎧 Headphones recommended — real location audio with original score. 🎬 Filmed in 4K.
