This is a cool trail. It does get quite involved at the end, it's a little dusty, but you can see a lot even if you just stay at the beginning part or go halfway or all the way. People doing the last part are leaning against the sandy wall to slide down the steep ravine so many people take it on and we turned back. No matter your time or distance on this trail you get to see some beautiful nature that's very rare to have right there without a long drive or commitment to a national park. As is so much of California's beauty along the coast there are athletic and outdoor relaxing adventures with some true beauty. Check the trail out or go for it. The whole area is very high quality with lots of options. For you g surfers for athletic sportsters or simply zen walkers who want to stroll and see some 10/10 nature or architecture of the nearby mansions. Neighbors are friendly the energy of the space there are surrounding is top notch so try it out take a stroll in this...

This hike is very technical and scary if you’re terrified of heights but worth the trek and adventure! You need hiking shoes with grip otherwise with sneakers or flip flops you will risk sliding and slipping... where you can’t afford any errors! I slipped on the creek but muddy hands to catch my fall were the least of my worries! We heard helicopters the night before during our dinner at Estancia and our server said they’re probably rescuing stranded hikers in the cliffs... we realized the next day during this hike what our server was talking about and I thought to myself oh goodness I hope I don’t have to be rescued! We probably wouldn’t have taken this route to Black’s Beach had we known or the read description in alltrails... but once in half way we had to finish! There’s another trail south by the glider launch we would take down next time... I’m glad we made it and for once I actually felt my...

I am almost 72 years old and in pretty good shape. I did this with my adult son about two years ago and I was terrified half way down where there is no where to go but walk sideways on slippery sandstone rocks. I was sure I would not make it. My son talked me through this part and I made it, and we walked back up the fire road. I vowed to never do this again. Back in SD, my son said that due to so many airlifts later, they actually built a better path on the 30 foot abyss part. So, this morning I reluctantly went out with him and my husband, and conquered it with their help! I found it less harrowing but still needed the their support. So, go for it. If I can do it, you can too but remember good shoes and go with other able hikers. We returned on the northern most route beyond the steps up a steep ravine but that was more navigable than going back up the Hoh...

ā˜ ļøā˜ ļøā˜ ļø EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WITH NO SIGNS TO GUIDE YOU AWAY FROM DEATH TRAPS. I thought I was going the right way and got trapped in a crevasse and fell 20 feet, breaking my ankle, tibia, fibula, and knee. I left in a helicopter. The paramedics and doctors said that they see a LOT of injuries from this location, it's not just me, it's a pattern. They need to either put up a lot of signs ON THE TRAIL guiding people away from the dangerous areas, or close it. One of the nurses said she's done that hike a couple times over the past several years and it has eroded a really badly and become a lot more dangerous

This is an extremely dangerous hike. The beginning is easy but then it meets with La Jolla and two other hikes it gets very difficult. I saw a man fall about 30 feet into the canyon, thank God he got up and walked away. I think my friend and I are very lucky that we did not fall as well. The entire time you are walking on uneven ground that is covered in pebbles and loose dirt. It was very challenging and a lot of fun, but I don’t think I will ever do it again because I think I’m very lucky that I did not fall and get hurt. This is not a hike for small children to do.
