Description
Trail starts off going over cool wood foot bridges that cross small creeks - then flattens out into beautiful forested area of coastal trees and fauna. It then starts to switch-back up to the top of the hill and gains some elevation before it slowly meanders back down to a lookout at Cape Falcon. More ocean views pops out among the trees as you work your way down too so be sure to stop and take those views in as well. If you continue on the trail it connects to Cape Falcon Trail and end up on short Sand Beach- another option is to have someone pick you up there if you don't want to turn back to Falcon road.
