I visited point Reyes for the first time in my life a few weeks back. Went to the lighthouse, then chimney rock, then the cypress trees and had no idea there was so much to the area! Thank you for your informative, analytical, and detailed breakdown of your travels. This motivated me to want to go back again and take a more analytical and holistic approach to my travel. Your efforts are appreciated and moved me to take action. Thank you Le!
Excellent video! While sand heights can be "seasonal", I have seen them change 4 - 6 ft in a 24-hour period, due to major storms. The low tides that you cite of high three to four feet, may have been the low for the day, but are not relatively low tides. Common low tides are in the 1 to 2 ft range. Negative tides being relatively rare. The tide gauge is based on MLW (mean low water), which is an average of low tides for the year. Actual conditions can vary greatly from the predictions due to circumstances like excessive river runoff, which may not be included in the prediction. As you rightly point out, you have to evaluate the real-time situation, and act accordingly. Nice job!
Incredible video! I’ve seen some videos where the crater entrance is so low you have to crawl and some where you can just walk in are there difference entrances?
I think all those videos show pretty much the same entrance. I assume it’s an example of what National Park Service was saying about how the amount of sand on the beach can differ at different times/seasons. So the “ground” is so high sometimes that it covers up most of the entrance, hence making crawling necessary.
@@LeLiuOfficial so that means the crater fills with water then? Thats very very interesting. I want to go when the low tide .5 and its the only time I can go. Im thinking if I have water shoes we should be able to make it.
@@LeLiuOfficial I’m going on July 5th when the tide is at .5 at 9:52am. I’ll have water shoes and we are going to run in and out quickly so I’m hoping that’s low enough tide. I went when it was 3.4 and there was no way I was going to do that haha.
Hello, I run a California Travel TikTok page that has 80,000 followers and I would love to inquire about possibly buying some footage from you of the crater. Ideally, it would be in portrait style. Is that something you’d be interested in?
Just tell me which footage (timestamps from my video) that you're interested in. If I am the owner of that piece of footage, then I can share it with you via Google Drive. I really only have a few shots I recorded. Otherwise it was mostly photos.
@@LeLiuOfficial if you have any shots in portrait mode I would be grateful to use and if you have a TikTok I would obviously give you a shout out. Basically anything that shows the inside of the crater would be awesome. I’d you have a shot of you walking into the crater and panning upwards that would be great.

Wow! This is an amazing video. Very informational and easy to understand. Great job putting this together. Very impressive!

Amazingly informative, well organized, and well supported with satellite images. Thank you for this immense video.
This is the best video I have seen about going to these landmarks! Great job!
Superior video. Very good explanations for planning around low tides.
Super helpful, thank you!!

@@robertthurman1336 Yup the base of the crater will be filled with water during high tides. Negative tide level and water shoes definitely recommended
