Cypress Tree Tunnel

Planted around 1930, the Monterey cypress trees that now create the "tree tunnel" at the Point Reyes Receiving Station is a signature landscape feature that evokes some of the prestige that the Radio Corporation of America (RCA) placed in the profitable, historic operation of the KPH Maritime Radio Receiving Station. Monterey Cypress is one of the few tree species adaptable to the wind and ocean weather conditions of Point Reyes.
