42 SALT POINT STATE PARK Jenner This Sonoma County park encompasses 6,000 acres of coast-a beautiful meeting of sea and forest. Wind-lashed headlands are crowned with Bishop pine groves, and sandstone cliff s drop abruptly to the sea. Follow the main road to Gerstle Cove, where bluff s are lined with honeycomb formations called tafoni. Hike up to the pygmy forest, where century-old cypress grow only 10 feet tall, or wander the Bluff Trail for views of pocket beaches and an oceanforever vista from Sentinel Rock.
