December 6, 2020Beautiful trail . There are some fallen trees but overall well maintain . The beach view was amazing . I was lucky to catch a sunny day :).
December 5, 2020Beautiful scenery and beautiful beach at the end. Be aware there are muddy areas— bring good boots or shoes that can get muddy. Had to do a little bit of climbing and crawling to get through some fallen trees, but overall I enjoyed it. My 65 year old parents came along and did okay with this trail.
November 21, 2020November 20, 2020Very muddy and challenging on the descent. Lots of down trees and thick mud
November 15, 2020October 24, 2020Very muddy right now with a lot of downed trees. I turned around after coming across a particularity treacherous looking downed tree, obviously some people have been crawling around or over it but it seemed unsafe to attempt going over it, and I didn’t want to get covered in mud crawling under it. I ended up walking further down the closed road from the parking area and found a trail that lead to a beautiful overlook.
September 20, 2020September 13, 2020So fun! A bit of a scramble over (and under) some fallen trees. Also go at low tide so you can transition from the trail to the beach. So. Dang. Lovely. Even when the world’s on fire.
August 23, 2020Started at the lake end of the washed out road closure. There's a small side trail off the road with a gorgeous view. Cape Mears beach trail has a large downed tree about half way that you must climb over or go under.
August 15, 2020Great hike! Some obstacles along the way which add to the adventure. I gave it a 4 star because we got lost at the end of the trail. It was unmarked and too trails were created which pointed to the fact that several have been lost before as well. We made it out on the beach after getting on wild grass and thorny plants. If youre walking down make sure you stay on the left side of the creek that way you dont get lost. But the beach views made it all worth it. Saw starfish and clams on the rocks. It was beautiful!
August 15, 2020Beautiful hike but definitely sketchy at a few points. We had to scramble over some large downed trees that had blocked the trail 3 times. I wouldn't take kids on it right now. The beach you get to is fine. Lots of rocks and seagulls. The hike back up gets your heart pumping because it's all back uphill but it's not too bad. The little .2 mile hike to the big Sitka Spruce is nice as well and at the same trailhead.
August 2, 2020Great day for a hike. Trail to beach little overgrown in places. Local told us how to make it a loop back up to parking lot. Return trail much easier climbing back up grade.
July 23, 2020The trail is open. It was a perfect day and hike. Definitely gets your heart rate up. wouldnt take kids under 8 unless they hike regularly.
June 27, 2020closed covid 19 :(
June 26, 2020Wouldn’t recommend.
March 15, 2020ROAD CLOSED - can’t get to trailhead.
September 15, 2019Short hike that was greatly enjoyed with beautiful view of ocean! Be aware that when you get down to the ocean, you must use a rope to get to the water. Also, the shore is full of rocks, no sandy beach to lay out on. Lastly, be aware of muddy trail when it has rained.
August 23, 2019Beautiful trail, with mud at the end when you scramble down to the beach. But it’s worth doing... and the beach is glorious
August 17, 2019August 16, 2019Such beautiful natural wildlife and views coming up to the beach and of the cliffs. Lots of flowers and different trees. Nice decline so actually a very good walk back up! Takes about 1 hour.
