This is the best hike thus far, partly sunny and bits of shade. You park off of PCH and walk through a beautiful neighborhood with ocean views to the trail. Once on the trails there are several creeks to cross and lots of critters to see. Thankfully, no snakes today. At the waterfall there are several places where ropes are anchored to pull you further up the mountain, literally straight up at some points. Unfortunately we couldn't reach the top to see the ocean views again, too dangerous with Grant in the back pack. Have to say I got a little worried at one point and turned back but now I'm kicking myself for being a chicken. We will for sure go again someday when we can be more adventurous and aren't carrying Grant on Daves back. Wonderful day, drove down the coast and stopped at Gladstone's on Sunset for a clam chowder bowl with a view.
