The overlook at the top of the trail gives a great view of the vast coastline. Along the water in the lower right, some beach-goers may be seen for scale.

A group of Ochre Sea Stars awaiting the return of the tide. If you look closely, there is at least one purple one hiding/caught underneath the orange one.

'Feed me Seymour!' A sea anemone at the edge of the tidewater. I believe the one's I saw were Starburst and not Aggregating as they seemed to all be solitary, but I could easily be wrong.

The active, but diminished landslide occuring at Agate beach. Overnight the night before I heard/felt a major addition to the slide occur from my nearby campsite. This whole park is slowly succumbing to erosion unfortunately.

After a century of logging, lands along California’s Klamath River returned to tribe An effort to return 73 square miles of forests to California’s Yurok Tribe has been completed. Organizers say the deal will help restore and protect vital habitat for salmon in Blue Creek.

I love rewilding stories, restoration stories (Owens River, Elwha Dam, L.A. River, etc). Fascinating as hell.

Nobody does it better than the #Yurok tribe up on the Klamath. Can't wait to see what they do with it! Congratulations to them...
