Absolutely stunning and worth all the drive. Try to get there early to ensure you don’t have to hurry. Choose an odd pay with less traffic.

One of the most beautiful sunsets you can see! My favorite place to be after a long work day. Drive along the curvy mountain road until you find a parking area with little to no cars and then go have a full hillside to yourself and watch the sunset on the Pacific!! Highly recommend

Beautiful hiking option near John Muir Redwoods. Light mist and little drizzling added more fun in overall hiking fun. I would recommend to go to this hike if you are visiting John muir. Not suitable for small kids under 4
