The ultimate adventure guide
The start of the trail is indicated by this hard-to-find sign.
The trail starts by passing alongside a local home, but you're on the right path!
Much of the trail is lush and green.
Flowers in early June.
Crossing Highway 101 with a small Oregon Coast indicator sign.
Signs mark some junctions along the trail.
There are several bridge crossings along the hike.
Excellent view from the high point of the trail.
View as you near Cape Falcon.
