Amazing gem on the coast. You go from beach coastal vibe to dense redwood forest. Home to so many banana slugs - highly recommend!

Happy that it's open. Even the one open hiking trail has scars from the fire, but it was great to be out there. Very few people were there, and that is good.

Great place to hide from the heatwave - it stays cool even when rest of the coast is red hot. Some trails are closed after the fire; entrance fee is $10. Parking is limited.

Questions & Answers

Do you need reservations for camping?

Due to the fire damage from the CZU fire, the campgrounds are closed for the next couple of years atleast. When they finally open up, if they run it like before there should be walk in sites and reservation sites.

Day hikes 3 to 5 + miles. Up & down hill, and a walk around the top of the canyon. I think you can walk a longer distance and cnnect to other parks in the area.
