About:
Our most popular hike! If the contrast between forest and sea excites you, this walk is for you. We will first introduce you to centuries-old coastal redwoods and the flora and fauna that thrive symbiotically in their presence, while exploring a beautiful canyon along a cascading mountain stream. Our journey continues down to the ocean, where we will explore a jetty away from shore. Here, you might see the daily otter or harbor seal, not to mention dolphins, or the gray or humpback whales that often drop by for a visit. The Robinson Jeffers is frequently incorporated into our Half Day and Full Day Excursions!
