STUMP BEACH LOOP (changed to GERSTLE COVE BLUFFS)

Meet at 10:00 at the pullout for the Gualala business directory 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. NOTE: due to stream at Stump Beach being too wide/deep to cross the hike was moved to Gerstle Cove Bluffs)
