A beautiful state park with lovely trails. Started on the Upland Trail behind the upper parking lot. It’s a short hike through a beautiful forest of madrona trees that leads to the Lime Kiln. Walk down the stairs to the kiln, then the lower set of stairs to the rocks to watch the waves. Breathtaking scenery.
I then reversed back and took the side trail to the lighthouse. Busier with people (I think Spring break week?) but still manageable and everyone I encountered wearing masks and being respectful of the pandemic etiquette.
The trail continues on to Deadman’s Cove. It’s rated as “difficult “ but I found it’s just moderate at best. However, if you suffer from vertigo or have little kiddos in tow, it would be a challenge. The trail is on the cliff-side and follows the water / whale watching site with endless views of the sea. I hit the beach at deadman’s cove at low tide in time for tide pooling.
No whale sightings but a wonderful short hike about 5 miles total. It’s worth the scenery!
