Been here a couple of times when we lived in the Bay Area. This time we were in CA on a quick visit (me for work and hubby to see his grandmother). Decided to make a trip to the beach and ocean as we don't get this in CO. Beautiful as always. Took a walk down the beach through the hole in the wall. Great day with family and friends.
Did a quick hike from Death Canyon Trailhead to Phelp's Lake and back. Think it was only 2 miles or less roundtrip. The trailhead was packed with at least a hundred cars. We arrived there fairly late as we had come from central WY so lots of folks were on their way out and we snagged a spot pretty close to the start of the trail.
The hike was beautiful and easy. The biggest hurdle was waiting for a bear to finish eating berries above the trail, poop on the trail and then cross down to eat more berries - this was about a 15 min or so wait. And then further down the trail almost to the lake we saw another bear. Made lots of noise the whole way down and back up - kept the kiddo between my husband and self.
Phelp's lake too was beautiful. Jumped in and had a nice cool down. Sandy beach, logs next to the water to sit on, trees for shade, very few people - what more could you ask for?
