Beautiful hike. I have little to add than the previous two reports but I always feel more comfortable reading recent reports, so I’ll just add a little something, something. We parked by the cemetery and were just a little confused on where the trail started that is shown on WTA’s Hike Info. Start the trail near the bathrooms (which were nice and clean as can get for port-a-potties, but were empty on hand sanitizer so bring some with you). The Bluff trail head isn’t announced until about 100 yards but its start is obvious (I’ll add a picture). If you start at the Pratt Loop (which is well marked at the end of the parking lot) you’ll catch up to Bluff but it’s a big deal to add that 1+ mile if you have hike resistant children with you.
I’m not afraid of heights but the edge of this hike really made my calves tingle, feet sweat and had me a little nervous if I saw my kids do anything more than a brisk walk.
We started about 9:30 am on a Saturday still a few parking spots left.
We got to the beach at about 12:30 and low tide was 4:20 so it was still passable for us.
By about 2 pm the trail seemed very busy and less parking but there’s a road that other cars were parked at.
It seems like all the ice cream places are closed during this time. So just go get a coffee and stop by the market and have your kids pick out some ice cream there.
