The Partington Cove trailhead is easy to miss — notice the brown sign behind the gate. I found it by noticing where other people had parked.

Waves crash into Partington Cove, a hidden inlet accessible via tunnel. A sign that warns against swimming or wading isn't a joke.

Practicing with new video gear, I tried to convey the scale you can expect from this trail. This video includes The Giant, a famous historical photo landmark, and shows how accessible the path is.

A handful of minutes off of Hickory Oaks Trail, you'll find the humble Turtle Rock. Venture here at the right time of day, and the sun will reward you with grass ablaze and gilded treetops … before the famous low clouds descend to test your rain jacket.
