Meet
at 9:45 at pullout for Gualala business directory and at 9:55 at
Stengel Beach Coastal Access parking area to carpool and start at Stump
Beach at the north end of Salt Point at approx. 10:30. We will park at
Stump Beach and follow the trail down to the beach, crossing the stream
and heading up the other side to the southern bluff tops. We will
meander along the bluffs taking in the views and wildlife along the way.
We will walk for an hour and then head back the way we came stopping at
"Glen's Spectacular Spot" for lunch and then walk back to our cars. The
bluff part of this hike is relatively flat but the trail down and up
from the beach is steep and walking sticks are recommended. Dogs are not
allowed on the Salt Point trails.
