What you'll see 🌄 Big views🌊 River or creek

This trail winds through this canyon with a seasonal creek and eventually up onto the coastal terrace with sweeping views of Becher's Bay. Other trails branch off of the Cherry Canyon trail allowing for visits to Black Mountain, the campground, and Water Canyon beach. Make a loop out of this hike by returning to the pier via the coastal road or trail. Distance: 3.5 miles (round trip from pier via the loop) Difficulty: Moderate

Tips
The natural link to Black Mountain and the campground - most people use it as part of a longer loop.
