Point Lobos Hike, 6.4 miles, 679 ft elevation gain (Carmel-by-the-Sea)

Details

Near Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. A moderately challenging route, it takes an average of 2 h 32 min to complete. A fantastic hike! Hopefully, we will see whales, otters, sea lions, seals and birds. The trail may be a little wet and muddy in places. Dogs aren't allowed on this trail. We will meet in the parking lot.
