Hiking Highlight (Segment)
Recommended by 2 hikers
This trail, also part of the Oregon Coast Trail (OCT), is a fantastic dirt path through a series of switchbacks along the cape high above the Pacific through a beautiful Sitka spruce forest. Along the way, there are plenty of viewpoints showcasing the stunning coastline, where you can catch a view of the Rogue River to the north, Hunters Island, and the Pistol River to the south. The lower section of the trail parallels the coastline before a relatively steep descent to Hunters Cove beach. Keep an eye out for poison oak along this stretch, as you are sure to be distracted by the incredible scenery.
