Pirate’s Cove and Cave Landing

Cappie’s Scoop: The first part of this trail is strange because I can’t see anything! There are very big bushes on both sides of the trail but mom said she had a nice view of the ocean. When I got to the dirt trail,…

Morro Rock

Cappie’s Scoop: Rocks are cool and they are even better when I can climb on them. This rock was way too big for me to climb on but next to it was a bunch of smaller rocks that I was able to check out….

Switzer Falls

Cappie’s Scoop: The early bird gets to swim in the falls with very few people there! Mom made me wake up very early so we could start hiking to the waterfall. I’m glad she drove so I could sleep in the car. But she…

Paradise Falls

Cappie’s Scoop: This is a cool waterfall to see but it would’ve been better if mom let me swim in the water. I didn’t get a chance to jump in the water this time but we had a nice long hike and I got…

Dripping Springs

Cappie’s Scoop: This is a really fun hike and even in the rain! There is even some shade along the way and that’s the cool part. Hiking under the trees as we climb up and up until we have a view of the mountains in…

Cappie’s Scoop: Coming Soon! Don’t hesitate to add YOUR scoop in the comments below! Tips: Go early because the trailhead parking lot gets really packed due to the Three Sisters Falls trail that also starts from this trailhead. Directions: From I-8 E, take the…
