Description
Start this trail at the end of Rosario Beach Road. Follow the wide, flat, and smooth trail south. Stay to the left of the totem for a clockwise circumnavigation of the point. The trail will turn to singletrack for a short, wooded section before emerging onto the point with great views in all directions. Watch for bald eagles overhead as they often frequent this spot. Follow the trail along the perimeter before you drop off the rocks and head into the woods for a short while before emerging at the totem once again.
