This day was hands down the most beautiful we have spent in California (with the exception of the Marin Headlands down in San Francisco). We hiked downward to Rocky Point, where I could've sworn I was in the movie The Count of Monte Cristo with the amazing views of the rocks.
Next, we continued to hike south to Abalone Point, but could've sworn we heard the cries of either a black or brown bear... and promptly turned back. (Black and Brown Bears are indigenous to this part of CA).
We then hiked over to the namesake of Patrick's Point to see the spectacular views. Front this viewpoint, you could clearly see the coastal shelf, where the land under the sea drops to the depths below.
Next, we hiked up to Wedding Rock, where couples often exchange vows high atop this beautiful precipice. We wondered how couples with families of older folk did this, as the hike was hard for us, two young and in shape people!
I was happy to take many shots with my two SLR cameras- one in color and one in black and white. I can't wait to see them, as the contrast between the black, volcanic rock and the white waves was pretty terrific.
We then headed into McKinleyville for some mexican food, then home for a lazy afternoon and a great evening of television. Let's just give a shout out to Heroes for a great season of tv and a f'in spectacular season finale.
