Description

After a major landslide took out the original trail, a new trail has been created that's a bit further inland but has amazing views still. Starting at Ecola State Park this trail heads north to Indian Beach where you can either turn back to Ecola or access the OCT and keep heading north. There's some exposed roots along the trail and muddy areas but still a great trail and nice for families. Ocean views are few this far back on the mountain but the scenery is still amazing hiking through the old growth forest.
