Carpool at pullout for Gualala business directory just north of bridge at 9:50. Start at 10:00 at the parking area at Piper's Reach. Hang tags needed for non Sea Ranchers. Walk to the bluff and then walk south to post 31. Continue east to Cormorant Close and through the hedgerow intersecting the trail that is adjacent to Highway One. Walk north on it until you reach the Monarch Glen Trail. Do that loop and then walk back to Bosuns Close and carefully cross the highway taking the road to the Chapel. Walk the first part of the Chapel Trail with its great views to post 128, turning left to Leeward Spur, crossing the highway again. Turn east onto Leeward Road. Take a left on Seal Rock Reach and hike to Walk-On Beach where we will be able to stop for lunch. After lunch proceed south on bluff top trail to post 35, then turn east to Pipers Reach and the cars.

The day started out cold and foggy. Tina promised sunshine for lunch and delivered!!! It was a wee bit longer than most of our hikes.... approx. 5 miles but everyone agreed it was a keeper. It had everything - bluff, woods, river, meadow, hedge row.... a 5star hike.
