About the event
This is a loop hike from the Muir Beach parking area, taking in valleys and hills with great views. We start with a climb through the hamlet via a steep set of stairs to the Muir Beach overlook. After an easy walk on the cliff tops, the trial descends by switchbacks to the Redwood Creek Valley and then over the ridge back to the coast.
The charming Pelican Inn awaits near the Muir Beach parking area for those interested in a beverage after the hike. Loop is approximately 9 miles with 1,600 ft elevation gain.
About an hour and 15 minute drive from Oakmont. Meet at the Berger Center at 8:00 am, so we can avoid some of the late afternoon traffic. Bring water, lunch and poles. Dress in layers for the coast. Hike leader John Schwonke (707) 292-7359
