The Phillip Burton Wilderness is part of the 111 sq. mile Point Reyes National Seashore located about 20 miles northeast of San Francisco, California. Total wilderness land is 33,373 acres which includes a roadless "potential wilderness" area of over 8,000 acres and is one of only three designated wilderness along the California coast, the others being the King Range Wilderness and the Rocks and Islands Wilderness.
