A prettier place, these cows probably could never expect to find. High on a knoll at the northern end of the Point Reyes peninsula. Ocean on one side, rolling farmland, and a long fjord-like sliver of Tomales Bay on the other.

Tule Elks are being preserved here by a program of the Federal Government, and Tule Elk have made a comeback from near extinction.
It would be, indeed, a tragedy to lose such a noble animal.

Beautiful and serene creatures, but they are very skiddish. Best to keep a far distance, especially from males during mating season.
