Walk up the Navy Road for a short distance to get a nice view from above. During winter and spring, visitors need to be prepared for a wet creek crossing at Canada del Puerto in Prisoner's Harbor. Water may be fast moving and up to 2 feet deep. Distance: .5 miles (round trip from Prisoner's Harbor) Difficulty: Easy
