First we start with an average trail, nothing too difficult. Than there's the little matter of getting down to the waterfront trail.
Well, it's not that bad. However the trail we were supposed to follow did abruptly end which lead us to slide down the side of a cliff, that while not nearly as bad as this, was pretty insane. It's cool though, at least when we hit the trail at the bottom it'll be smooth sailing.
The Fuck?! Yup, seriously it's just fields of rocks to climb across. Above is the first set, followed by a rocky trail, followed by....
Another rock scramble. I was pretty sure there were only two, imagine my surprise when the third one came along. Also, see those white markers? Those are supposed to be the easy paths across, which is cool in theory, but does take away some of the adventure.
After this point there aren't many pictures. There is a really pretty trail after the third rock scramble, but this unfortunately leads you to climbing back up the side of the cliff, which takes about ten switchbacks of rock stairs to do. It was too hard to hold a camera straight, so all of those pictures are a blurred mess.
Now Although I make this sound like hell, the hike is actually awesome. It's a great challenge and I'm proud to have done it twice. In fact I can't wait to do it a third time. Especially with our crew, a great group of kids sweet enough to follow me into the woods...
Sorry guys, next time I'll pay better attention to the trail blazes.
