Año Nuevo State Park (Cellphone Photos) - San Mateo County, CA

On the 15th January 2026, my parents and I went on a guided tour in Año Nuevo State Park in San Mateo County, CA for a day trip. We walked along Año Nuevo Point Trail, soaking in the scenery. I hope you enjoy viewing my photos!

The main part of Año Nuevo State Park only has one trail, Año Nuevo Point Trail. The scenery is amazing, and there were so many birds to see walking down the trail. Please note you do have to pay for the guided tour December through March during pupping season.

Año Nuevo State Park (Cellphone Photos) - San Mateo County, CA

On the 26th September 2025, my mom and I went to Año Nuevo State Park in San Mateo County, CA for a day trip. We walked along Año Nuevo Point Trail, soaking in the scenery. Afterwards, we dropped by Luigi's Pizza and Pasta in Campbell, CA for dinner. I hope you enjoy viewing my photos!

Message from the Photographer: I have been having more energy recently after a cold a few weeks ago. I think it might be due to one of the pills I was on. I have no clue if this increase in my energy is temporary or permanent. The pill I was taking, Mucinex DM specifically the dextromethorphan, has helped some people's chronic fatigue syndrome.

Año Nuevo State Park & Pescadero State Beach - California (Cellphone Photos)

On 30 September, 2021, I took a day trip with my mom and traveled along California's State Route 1. I went to Año Nuevo State Park and Pescadero State Beach in Pescadero, CA. Here are the cellphone photos I took on the trip. I also had some fun and had my mom helped me take some photos of me on this trip too. 

Message from the Photographer: Sorry it took so long before I released these photos. The COVID-19 pandemic is seriously wrecking havoc on my mental health since the beginning of October and I haven't been able to get around to getting this done. The night blindness and the decrease in daylight has also triggered seasonal affective disorder, which I have begun to combat with light therapy using a light box. Luckily I can start using my light box again this year. Since the weight loss, the photophobia caused by visual snow syndrome has dramatically decreased (along with the frequency of migraines), and my day time vision has improved a tiny bit. My vision is still impaired, but to a lesser extent compared to the previous 2 years. I'm finally feeling a bit better to get some work done.

My mom helped take a photo of me on Cascade Creek Trail in Año Nuevo State Park in Pescadero, CA.
