January 14, 2021just had a big wind storm so there were a lot of fallen trees, which made for great adventure. would love to go to the beach there during the summer.
December 26, 2020December 19, 2020Beautiful hike along the coast. Easy hike for all ages. Great with dogs. Easy parking. Bathroom on beach by parking lot open. Some mud, rocks, sand. Beautiful hike!!
October 17, 2020Saw nine otters! Doesn't get much better than that. This is one I'll do again. Great hike!

September 1, 2020August 31, 2020Nice view
August 28, 2020Amazing short hike. Plenty of up and down with views of Baker.
August 15, 2020Nice
August 14, 2020Hiked this on a pretty hot day week before last. But most of it is shaded, so it was perfect. Started at North Beach, parking at the amphitheater. The only part that was a bit challenging in the steep incline up to the overlook. But the views definitely make it worth it, so don’t skip it. Happy Hiking! Enjoy :)
August 9, 2020A gorgeous trail. Drier on the South side of the Perimeter Trail. Lovely views of many coves and sailing boats. Mileage was more like 4.4 miles.
August 1, 2020Wear a mask. Narrow trail with limited pass points. Some of the trail is dry and dusty, but most is lush. Views are great. Get here early (before 12) to avoid a parking jam
July 19, 2020July 7, 2020I am amazed at how clean the trail is even after being hit hard on the 4th. Way to go fellow hikers! We can all keep enjoying this pristine wilderness. Here’s a very basic list of etiquette I like to pass on to so we can educate those just starting out: Stay on the trail. ... Leave no trace. ... Be mindful of your dogs. ... Leave the music at home. ... Obey trail closures.
June 20, 2020Trail starts off moderately easy but certainly gets tougher along the switchbacks in the middle. Lovely views by the water!
June 14, 2020first mile or so of this hike has very low elevation gain. once you get to the switchbacks the hike becomes a lot more challenging. still pretty easy, manageable for older people and children 5+. very rewarding view at the peak! 4/5 because the trail is split by parking lots and roads in the first mile.
June 6, 2020Great trail. Path was narrow at some parts. Good for kids 5 and up but harder with early walkers.
May 31, 2020Wonderful trail! Pretty easy to stay six feet apart. Not many people early on Sunday

First to ReviewNice trail with lots of variety. Pretty flat with the exception of the summit climb up to Goose Rock which could be avoided if you chose to stay on the perimeter trail. Very light traffic, even on a sunny Saturday!
