Purisima Creek Trail

Description

This trail is an old logging road on the western side of the preserve, which passes by an accessible restroom and continues at a gentle uphill grade for the first mile into the preserve (although there are a few short sections that are a 10%-15% grade). The trail follows along Purisima Creek, crossing the water over several bridges. This hike features redwood groves, open meadows, and views of the Pacific Ocean.
