Any one have any suggestions for visiting Point Reyes -OR- Point Bonita on a weekend in June?

My mom is visiting from Georgia and I want to take her to one (not both). I think I've been to both, but I can't remember which I liked better--it was at least 10 years ago. Thx!

I am so very partial to the Point Reyes area.

Another vote for Point Reyes. It is a unique and special spot.

I have only been to Point Reyes, but it did not disappoint. We hiked down to the lighthouse, just missed a pod of whales...saw seals and elephant seals on Drakes Beach. Had a fabulous meal at The Station House in Point Reyes Station...good seafood.

If memory serves, Point Reyes has a steeper climb down to the lighthouse, but it's easier to access.

Point Bonita can be difficult - the parking is almost nonexistent, so the walk to the lighthouse could be a long one. In addition, it's still a functioning lighthouse, so it's open to the public for only a few hours on Saturdays and Sundays.

I'll agree that the view from Point Reyes is better.

Go in the afternoon to avoid the morning fog.

You can opt to take the numerous steps to the lighthouse, or they have a wonderful observation point, including museum and gift shop, for those who would rather not do the stairs.
My husband did the stairs to the lighthouse, I stayed at the observation point and had a wonderful time. This is in Point Reyes, by the way.

Thanks everyone! Sounds like Point Reyes is the winner, hands down. We'll definately plan a meal at the Station House. I've read other good reviews for this restaraunt.
