This is some of the best the Oregon Coast has to offer. We need better pictures on this site. I hope the next time I return, the weather will not keep the camera in my pocket. Worth many return visits.
Nice hike; lots of dense forests and open seascape. Took my mom for her 60th bday and she unfortunately bit it on the way down (so be careful out there - trail often v. muddy and slick). Last I checked, no dogs on Nature Conservancy land. :(
I'm guessing at the date on this one. Hiked up this one from the lower trailhead with my old girlfriend whose grandparents live on the same road as the boat ramp. I do remember going off into the woods to find a secluded spot on the way down off to the north of the grassy area. :- )
I have done this one a few times now. Once on Thanksgiving, 2004 and once over summer, 2005. A great hike. Fun to scramble doen to the water's edge here, although probably not really all that safe.
Did this hike 3 times in 1999! The hike from the lower trailhead is a lot of bang for your buck. Portions of the trail are steep but the scenery is wonderful. I love the lower part hiking through the lush and green old-growth forest and what a contrast when you step out onto the grassy and wide-open headland!
