Hiking
The Peter Douglas Coastal Trail, which was named in honor of the environmentalist who championed coastal conservation, winds through Shady Dell, a unique patch of forest famous for its Candelabra Trees (redwoods that look like candelabras!), and other rare plants and fungi that thrive in the shady, wet, mixed conifer and hardwood forests by the coast. While the trail is fairly easy to moderate, getting there can be a bit of an adventure. Usal Road is a rugged 4x4 road where 4 wheel/ all-wheel drive is a must.
