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.
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
