Sycamore Canyon Hike from the Ocean - a Gentler Hike

HIKE DETAILS:
This will be a little easier hike for Tuesday, with less elevation gain, less miles, and slower. Should you change hikes, don't forget to cancel the one you are not going on this Tuesday.

This hike will go from the beach up to the picnic table on the fire road, approximately 5.5 miles. Most of the hike is exposed but hopefully we may have a marine layer and it will be cloudy. No dogs.

We will meet in the Day Use parking lot at Sycamore Canyon Campground. We will start off along the main Sycamore Canyon road and turn up to the fire road where we will climb up to the picnic table. We will then follow the fire road back down to the parking lot, so out and back.

Directions:

We will be meeting at the Sycamore Canyon Campground and day use parking area on Pacific Coast hwy. This trailhead and parking area is about a mile south from the La Jolla Canyon Parking area where we go to hike the Ray Miller Trail and just across from the campground.

Parking is available in the campground for $12 (or free with a State Parking Permit). There may not be free parking on PCH.

There are also restrooms at the day parking lot.
