    It’s peaceful and beautiful. If you go in the winter, you have plenty of opportunities to enjoy nature without the crowds and commotion. We saw a big group of elephant seals and enjoyed the tide pools.

    While the coast was beautiful the drive to get there was tough. Definitely come from Ferndale and go south, do not go through Petrolia.

    Love it! A mix of different terrains. Walking on sandy or rocky terrain definite will drag down your pace. We are a pack of beginner to intermediate ish backpackers/hikers and we walked at around 1.5-2.5 mph pace. But we did need to take several breaks along the way.
    And also, ticks ticks ticks! All three of us found multiple ticks crawling on our clothes and skin after walking across bushy areas. I personally even got 4 tick bites. I’m glad I brought first-aid so I could pull them out and use my antiseptic pad to sanitize the area to avoid infection. One of the hikers we met along the way told us she found over 100 ticks on her dog. Please wear treated clothes even you don’t want tick bites.

    Best backpacking trip with good views. Good time to visit is during the June – July time. There are multiple creeks on the way, where you can camp and have food. Multiple overlooks on the way. Total distance was about 27.5 miles. If you want to do chill backpacking trip then you can do it over 4 days, but if you are advanced level then 2 days is also possible.

    3-4 miles off-road but it worth it. Come there at low tide, so u can walk by the beach. Be aware of bears…
