We started the hike at Castle Rock State park at 6:30 a.m. and ended at Wadell State Beach at 7:30 p.m. for a total of 33 miles. The picture on the right is at the start of the hike looking out towards the ocean with fog sitting in the pockets of the foothills
Usually people do this in 3 days, but our church's Young Mens Youth Group decided to do it all in one day. About 23 people started the hike and only about 13 finished the journey. It is mainly down hill which sounds nice, but in reality it is pretty hard on your knees. By mile 15 I started to get major posterior lateral left knee pain and by mile 20 both knee where screaming for me to stop. They didn't stop screaming till I was done.
The last 10 miles are the most epic having to hopscotch across streams and duck under fallen moss covered redwoods.
The cool thing about this hike is that you can smell the end. We could smell the salty ocean a mile before we came around this corner (middle picture above) where you got your first glimpse of the pacific (bottom left picture).
This is a most do. If you don't want to do the entire 33 miles, start at Waddell beach and walk up to Berry Creek Falls (7 miles mostly flat) This is the most beautiful part of the hike.
