Description

A truly spectacular view of the sea cliffs after a short but steep run through a meadow. Stand on a narrow finger of rock with steep cliffs on either side and look north and south at the interesting cliff features, including a natural arch and seas caves. This spot is particularly good at sunset. Beware of the dangerous cliffs, especially with pets and children.

Short Run: Use the Elk Flat Trail and then the Elk Flat Overlook Trail to access this gem.

Some Mud - Beautiful trail. Way better than expected given proximity to houses. Missed the turn after the metal bridge. Saw the "no fireworks" but didn't look at the arrow on the other side. but we enjoyed our route. watch step crossing waterways near the slews. first crossing had a makeshift bridge / board off to the side that could have been placed for crossing. we just gingerly stepped on logs and other debris.
