RATING: Easy

TO REACH THE TRAILHEAD:
Day-use parking is immediately past the kiosk, adjacent
to the restrooms. Park your vehicle and stroll past the north end of the campground
(sites 23-34), where all three of the park's trails begin.
TRIP SUMMARY:
This hike traverses the steepest coastal canyon in the Lower 48, where
Limekiln Creek's headwaters pour down from Cone Peak, nearly a mile above sea
level and just 3.2 miles from the Pacific. The short, easy trail leads to the base of the
falls.
