    We did the trail loop and beach walk from the east parking lot. If there is no parking try the south lot. Trail is easy and well marked.

    Great route! If you can bring some snacks to enjoy them watching the magnificent water view.

    A great loop, to be done in August or later, as snow otherwise makes the ridge difficult, especially at the southern end. The traverse of Mt Whittier is not a trail, so route finding skills are a plus.
