👍👍 This beach was the best thing after my hike at the morro hike trails. Its so separated from lousy people that visit the beaches and private in sense.

It had rained the day before and sprinkled some the morning we came so the trail had some standing water and muddy in parts. The is a moderate trail to me due to the unevenness of the rock steps and the change in eleva...

I drove about a mile in and discovered the trail head / vehicle trail into Holy Him Trail was closed /locked by a vehicle barricade. I parked my truck and walked around the barricade and sa...
