The Stewart Trail Long Loop offers a deep dive into the diverse ecosystems of Point Reyes, taking you from wide gravel paths through dense Douglas Fir and Mixed Evergreen Forests to open meadowlands. You'll experience significant elevation changes as you climb towards Firtop Peak, eventually being rewarded with expansive ocean views stretching towards Wildcat Camp. Keep an eye out for waterfowl in the algae-filled pond near the start and vibrant California Spikenard with its purple berries in season.
This challenging 14.9-mile (23.9 km) hike, with its 2384 feet (727 metres) of elevation gain, typically takes around 7 hours and 4 minutes to complete. The route begins at the Five Brooks trailhead, where parking is available, though it's worth noting that dogs are not permitted on trails in Point Reyes National Seashore. If you're tackling this after rain, be prepared for potentially muddy conditions on sections like the Greenpicker Trail.
This extensive loop combines several trails, including sections of the Stewart Trail, Ridge Trail, and Coast Trail, providing a comprehensive exploration of the Phillip Burton Wilderness. It's a fantastic option for experienced hikers looking for a substantial workout and varied scenery, offering a different perspective than shorter, more crowded routes in the area. The trail is mostly shaded, making it a good choice for warmer days.
