Olema Valley


Olema Valley is a gorge formed by the San Andreas Fault in rural west Marin County, Northern California. The valley runs from the southern end of Tomales Bay through Point [Reyes Station], the town of Olema, and Dogtown, [Marin County, California|Dogtown], to the Bolinas Lagoon, which lies between Bolinas and Stinson [Beach, California|Stinson Beach]. It is part of the Golden [Gate National Recreation Area].
The northern and central portions of the Olema Valley are drained by northwestward-flowing Olema Creek, whereas the southern portion is drained by southeastward-flowing Pine Gulch Creek.
