The neighbors hate everyone parking there. Far too popular now. Watch out for the mountain biking morons, too. Nothing like a good person vs bike collision to make your hiking experience complete. More

This was the most incredible hike I have taken in the United States, aside from John Muir trial or some other trails in Yosemite. The beginning of the hike doesn't seem incredibly interesting, though you get a grand view of the city and ocean from above. The real fun starts about a mile in when you run into the stream... More
