This is a great loop that can be done clockwise or counterclockwise and takes you through an enchanting forest of some old growth trees, tons of happy green ferns, and a small creek. We did the hike clockwise, which made for a nice descent that ended with some beautiful views of the ocean and blooming Salal. It was fairly quiet and a nice escape from the hot summer weather in the valley. There aren’t any epic ridge views, but the trail is very well maintained and there is a good diversity of plants and foliage to view. You can easily make this a longer loop if desired or want to do as a trail run.

Cook’s Ridge Trail to Gwynn Creek Trail Hike
Great day on the coast. Temperatures in the 50s near the shore to about 70 inland. Hiked through beautiful old growth forest. Found some huge trees with fire scars on the bark from 200 years ago. Trails in good condition. Went down to Neptune Beach afterward.
