Kick off summer with a free BBQ at the Point Reyes Hostel!

May 16, 2008

The Point Reyes Hostel is firing up the grill, icing down the drinks, and bringing on the bands for a free BBQ and open house to kick off the summer season! Bring your friends and welcome in the lazy days of summer with free gourmet food, live music by Pink Sabbath and the Bluebellies, and outdoor fun in the spectacular Point Reyes National Seashore.

Sample culinary delights from West Marin’s renowned growers and producers, including burgers made with Marin Sun Farms grass-fed beef, Drake’s Bay Oysters, Point Reyes Farmstead blue cheese, beverages by Lagunitas Brewing Company, fresh local produce, and more.

Come check out all the upgrades at this green-certified hostel since last year’s open house: new bunk beds, new kitchen appliances, new common room furniture, a secure bicycle storage shed, new drinking water filtration system, and much more. Meet the friendly hostel staff, and get to know some of your neighbors in the Point Reyes community.

After the festivities, you can walk/bike off those BBQ calories by venturing onto the 140 miles of trails winding through the Point Reyes National Seashore. Or, better yet, make a weekend of it and stay overnight at the Point Reyes Hostel, with a stunning coastal wilderness at your doorstep.

This event marks the beginning of a six-month series of events held at nine hostels in Northern California, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Golden Gate Council of Hostelling International USA.
