President's day hike with the family. We started here after staging a car at the Cowell Beach trailhead. The parking lot was full. Thanks for marking this newer section of trail! TFTC. mjp303

Wow! Great views from this overlook! The sun was peeking out a bit, and we stopped to eat our sandwiches while enjoying the surf and sand down below. TFTC! mjp303

What a great trail. Amazing to imagine that people have been living in the little hollow down below for nearly 10000 years! TFTC. mjp303

The end of our hike. A great day to be out. Next stop 7-11 for a slurpee! TFTC. mjp303



Seal View Bridge by HMB Lipripper
Size: (small) Difficulty: Terrain:
Lots of hikers and bicyclists coming and going on the trail at this point. Fortunately GZ was a logical spot to linger as we searched and then signed the log. The kids had 'fun' bouncing the bridge up and down by jumping. It flexes a bit! TFTC. mjp303

There was an ATV locked up nearby, but I don't think it belongs to the farmer, who was disking his field with a tractor in preparation for planting. TFTC! mjp303
