Nice hike through the forest. Not a lot of scenic vistas but the trail is in very good shape compared to others I have hiked on the Coast in the last month or two (no mud, only a couple down trees).

Moderately trafficked trail with views of Heceta Head Lighthouse, down to Hobbit Beach. Was a bit muddy in parts, but certainly passable with proper hiking boot. Would not recommend with white tennis shoes.

Didn’t look at any info about this hike before I went. So surprised by the suspension bridge over the falls. Super rad.

The views are amazing. The waterfall is stunning in the fall covered trees and water is just rushing through the fall. Heavily traveled path. Better in the morning of trying to get a more peaceful hike in with less people.

Amazing views everywhere you look here, multiple short little trails. Do the st. Perpetua trail either from the top or the visitor center, great cliffs and vista view, also check out all the spouting horn, Thor’s well, tide pool action down on the water.

more of a walk than a hike but lovely views of the coast and interesting stuff to see like devil's churn and spouting horn. a nice mix of up and down, too, so you see the views from different perspectives and go in and out of the forest.
one caution: more than half the folks we encountered were not wearing masks or distancing and the path is narrow.

Beautiful, sun dappled, lush and windswept coastal temperate rainforest

This is an amazing hike with 2-3 amazing Waterfalls that offer many photo ops of the waterfalls & the surrounding area. The trail is well maintained, offers amazing views of the forest & creek, & because it’s out of the way there wasn’t a lot of other hikers using the trail. The hike in is mostly level to downhill & the walk back includes a section of switchbacks that aren’t very steep, but have some trip points do to ricks and roots. Just be aware.

Lots of road noise for much of the hike. It was nice to be in the cool forest on a warm day and very few people between Hobbit Beach Trail and lighthouse. View of lighthouse was awesome, but next time I’ll start at lighthouse and take short walk up to view point. Trail from lighthouse up the hill would be a great training route as elevation gain is legit! I won’t repeat this hike. It was kinda boring and similar views can be had elsewhere.

East Ridge Trail to Meddow Loop Trail at 7.1 miles and +/-1,700 feet. Best hike in Mary’s Peak area!

Awesome reward!
Research how to get there and screen shot the directions so you’re not relying on cell service. It can be a tricky one to find!
Well maintained trail with beautiful trees, fungi, mosses, and scenery. Downhill in....which means uphill out.
