Difficulty: 1 mile, 100 ft elevation

Preparation: None. Some stream crossings might be necessary depending on the season. Check the road conditions for the trailhead (at the end of Gold Bluffs Beach Road) -- during rainy season it might be washed out.

Summary: A short hike. If you want to do something longer, the Miners' Ridge and James Irvine Loop might suit you.
