Hike Description
Start at the Sea Lion Point Parking Area. Head North on the Cypress Grove Trail. The Cypress Grove Trail loops around
the Allen Memorial Grove and offers beautiful vistas of the Cypress Cove, Pinnacle Cove, and South Point. This loop is .8
miles.
As you finish the loop, go left at the trailhead for the North Shore Trail. Continue for a short distance until you reach the
Whaler's Knoll Trail trailhead. Turn right at the trailhead and go up to the top of the Whaler's Knoll - don't worry it's only
180 feet of elevation gain. From there you will see beautiful vistas of the Carmel Bay.
Continue down the Whaler's Knoll trail and bear left back towards the North Shore Trail.
Follow the North Shore Trail until you reach Whaler's Cove. Whaler's Cove is a great place to rest and take a break.
There is also a cultural history museum with docents who will tell you about the whaling that used to occur here. Be on
the look out for the giant whale bones in front of the Whaler's Cabin.
When you are done at Whaler's Cove, turn around and head back along the North Shore Trail to the Sea Lion Point
Parking Area. Be sure to stop and enjoy the vistas of Bluefish Cove and Guillemot Island and take time to enjoy Big Dome.
