Hiking at the Coast: Neahkahnie Mt & Cape Falcon


A few weeks back we hiking Went With Some of Carlos' coworkers. The original plan WAS to go to Saddle Mt WAS But the road closed. Instead we Drove ~ 20mil more and jump up to Mt Neahkahnie Followed by the Cape Falcon trail
few weeks ago we went hiking with Carlos Partner to work. We wanted to go to Mount Saddle but the road was closed. Continue 20 miles to MountNeahkahnie and then to Cape Falcon trail Neahkahnie is one of my favorite hikes. Its pretty short from the trail head we start from (1.5 miles to the top) But the views are great and we get to see a lot of nice flowers. When We Went hiking last summer with the club we saw tiger lillies, the album is here

.

Neahkahnie Monte is one of my favorite routes. It is a short way but the top is a beautiful view and on the way there are many beautiful flowers. Tiger lillies anno saw the past in this way, the photos are here
I think this is some kind of lilly / I think this is a type of lilly

Has it Been really a year already?) But due to weather and general exhaustion We Decide to go Another time. We Went with 8 Other people from work and had a great time. All together we saw about 14 waterfalls, I guess now is really the best time to go as Later in the spring / summer the water dries up.
