This hike will give you a real challenge. Park your car on the east side of the road, close to the tunnel opening. Use the bridge to cross the river. The path is blurred and difficult to find and there are no markings. Long, steep climb first half of the hike. Very spectacular, vertical drop on the summit. Not for the faint hearted. Ocean view on sunny days.
