Jenn examines the Pacific
Elk Grazing near the coast
Next was our return leg, back into the forest, but this time along the James Irvine trail. Together with the other two legs of our trail (the Miners Ridge trail and the coast walk), we'd be completing a large triangle-like loop hike.
The trail itself was another wonderland of lush rainforest. Unfortunately the RAIN part of rainforest dominated today, and we were sopping wet for most of the way, hurrying along just so that we could finish the hike and get back to the dryness of the car.
We'll come back another time when conditions are a bit better, ok?
