Pogonip (Spring St. Trailhead) w/ Hula's Island Grill

Pogonip from Spring Street Traihead will be an approximately 7 mile, less than 1000' elevation gain loop thru most the the parks scenic trails. Beautiful redwoods, creeks and maybe even a mystery bridge.
There is no parking lot but plenty of street parking on Spring Street. Please be respectful of the neighbors on this quiet residential street.
Be a good time to carpool and save some of those parking spots, as well as a small fortune in gas.

What could be a better way to enjoy the rest of your day than a Hawaiian restaurant dreaming of the beach and ocean breezes, while indulging your hike fueled appetite? Luckily Hula's Island Grill is a shoort 10 minite drive away. Located at 221 Cathcart St, Santa Cruz, CA 95060. Our reservation is for indoorsso we can all sit together; otherwise we'd be spread across picnic tables.

This being "Surf City", the invasion of privacy question will be "what comes to mind when you think of surfing?" Musical references are quite appropriate.
