Jeremy at the beginning of the day :) So handsome!
Nice view down the coast
As we continued to hike up to the ridge, we started hiking in heavily wooded areas. We came across this barrier... and had to figure out the best way through it. Its normal to find logs or branches that cover a path, but we had never come across a group of trees that had fallen to cover the path.
We found a way!
Toward the end of the hike (ie when we were exhausted) we hiked down to this waterfall. We could have gone all the way down to the beach, but it was very rough terrain and the so called path had been completely washed out. We decided on a rain check.
We saw lots of banana slugs on the path! We also saw a coyote and several newts, but I didn't have a good shot of the coyote and I forgot to take pictures of the newts.
This is one of the lakes we passed
Happy Hikers!
Pretty purple flowers along the path
Another blockage... this one was a very big tree that looked like it was being held up by some not-so-sturdy-looking branches
See what I mean?
Another lake :)
And more flowers
It was amazing walking along this path that stretched out in front of us. To our left were beautiful green hills. To the right -> the beautiful blue ocean. The sun was shining and we had a nice cool breeze to keep us from getting too hot. This path wasn't too popular either.
You can see the dark brown along the beach is where there are rock tide pools. We didn't hike down there (we were still exhausted and this was at the very end of our hike) but perhaps next time. I'm sure we could find some starfish or sea urchins down there!
Keep checking for new posts since we are in the mood for adventures!
