Description

This trail starts at a junction next to Waddell Creek on the Skyline to the Sea Trail. Climb steadily through forests of Douglas-fir, redwood, and tanoak. As you climb, the ground turns sandy and the forest gives way to chaparral and pines. There are excellent views of forested mountains all around you and the Pacific Ocean in the distance. End at Hihn Hammond Road.
