We parked by the amphitheater and started on Pacific NW Trail towards the North Beach, went under the bridge to connect to the Goose Rock perimeter trail. Perimeter trail can get pretty narrow to maintain decent social distance. We continued onto the perimeter trail then switched on to Goose Rock Summit Trail like in the description of the trail. Mose of the elevation gain is saved for the end on the summit trail, switchbacks gets really steep really fast but the beautiful views are totally worth it. Trail and the beach were very VERY crowded but Summit trail was relatively better. Literally every party we came across had all or multiple members not wearing masks as they passed people on the narrow trail :( please guys, put a mask on at least when you cross other people. On our drive back (at around 3p), we saw bumper to bumper traffic to get into the park that easily ran 15ish mile long.
