Arguably the finest coastal backpacking trail in the US, this 25 mile stretch of CA coast is truly a unique trip where you’ll get to experience raw wilderness and remoteness.
This one week road trip heads through several prime landmarks in Norcal and Oregon. This itinerary is packed with incredible hikes, waterfalls, rugged coastline, redwoods, caves, and lakes you won’t want to miss.
View the particularly picturesque College Cove, part of Trinidad State Beach, CA from the trails on the cliffs above, or better yet, from a clifftop tree swing.
The Cypress Grove Trail is one of my favorites of coastal CA hikes. The short hike loops through a rare Monterey Cypress grove and incredible clifftop vistas.
The short Bird Island trail in China Cove of Point Lobos is the perfect trail for great beach access and to see marine wildlife like sea birds and seals
