Story: Perfect sunny day to hike out to the Pacific Coast shoreline at Año Nuevo State Preserve, north of Santa Cruz, to see the male elephant seals hanging around for molting season.

Flat, mostly easy hike (4.5 miles), but lots of sand that can be very tiring.

Full hike write-up at Two-Heel Drive.
