This incredible trail begins at the bottom of the canyon and leads high above with amazing views of the Pacific Ocean. The ruins of three homes along the path consisting only of burnt chimneys and stone walls were lost in wildfires many decades ago. There are multiple creek crossings and some shade from the riparian tree canopy on portions of the trial.
