Itinerary description

Quick hike before flighing back to Europe .

This hike is pretty easy and you can make it easier avoiding the beach variant , closing back to starting point after Louthern Church .
The overall trail is good passing though Mori Ridge Trail , from starting point till the Ridge , then Sweeney Ridge Trail , till the missile control , then Baquino Trail bring back you to California 1. You can then decide to loop into beach or go back to starting point. The beach part is pretty cool and you have a countless option to follow .

I did the hike early morning with marine layer good for the comfort but not optimal for the view , choose your combination . In the morning could be comfortable but without a view flip side afternoon could be very hot but with a nice view .

Enjoy it !

PS, in my personal scale this is rated easy , but I found others who rated it Moderate , maybe for the distance .
