Damnation Trail - Del Norte County
I joined up with Ed Swafford and Siena Dante for the Damnation Trail located off the 101 in Del Norte County. It was a pretty easy hike, consisting of about 1000-1500 down to the coast through tall redwood trees; then another 1000-1500 feet back up to the trailhead...all-in-all around 4 miles round trip. The string of consecutive clear sunny days continued and you couldn't ask for better weather hiking along the coast. We hung out next to waves crashing into the rocky shore, which were pretty steep due to gale force northerlies. Siena and I also braved a narrow rocky cat walk out to a mini sea stack, which added a bit of excitement to what was otherwise a pretty tame stroll through the woods. I'd definitely recommend this quick little hike for anyone passing through southern Del Norte County.
