Phillip Burton Wilderness, US Wilderness Area in Marin County, United States.
Located within Point Reyes National Seashore, this 26,025-acre wilderness contains coastal cliffs, forested ridges, and chaparral-covered landscapes north of San Francisco.
The area received wilderness designation through Public Law 94-544 in 1976 and was renamed to honor Congressman Phillip Burton through Public Law 99-68 in 1985.
The wilderness area serves as a learning center for environmental preservation, featuring over 450 bird species and 72 different mammals in their natural habitat.
Visitors can access four primitive backcountry camping sites and explore 140 miles of trails, with specific regulations to protect the natural environment.
Between December and April, the coastal section of the wilderness provides observation points for gray whales during their migration between feeding and breeding grounds.
