This is such a beautiful hike, and so easily accessible. The dogs have to be leashed here, as it is a popular trail, with a lot of families and other dogs. It's 5.2 miles in and back, with several jaw dropping views of the ocean. Another reason to keep the pups on a leash is the severe cliffs and dropoffs to the waters below, if your dog likes to chase anything, bring the leash! It is in shaded forest about half the time, and the trail makes for interesting terrain with all the large tree roots and in our case, lots of water and mud! They almost look like Banyon trees the way they are crawling all over the place, it's very cool. Chloe is a low rider dog, so as you can imagine, she was a muddy hot mess by the time we got back, but that's why we always carry our insta-dog bath wipes!
The view at the very top, the actual "lookout", is quite lovely, but I can imagine it gets crowded quickly as there's not much space at the top to take it all in. We didn't see any whales on our visit, which was early March, but I hear they should be there about now (mid March), so we are going to try and go back. There is also a south trail that leads to a secluded beach that we will try and hit next time!
