Route Description for Tex Lyon Trail
Due to the unmaintained nature of the route, the Tex Lyon Trail isn’t recommended for beginner hikers and should be completed with a good trail map or GPS so as not to get lost while out on your hike. Additionally, the trail follows very closely along the coast and the tide should be taken into account when planning your journey.
Setting out from the trailhead, make your way north along the edge of the coast and utilize the log bridges to cross over the streams. The route is fairly overgrown, so take your time as you carefully navigate through the thick brush. Muddy sections along the trail will have installed ropes in order to help you traverse the challenging terrain. Roughly halfway through the hike, the trail will take a detour through the forest around a small cove before continuing onto the point at the terminus of the trail. From here, hikers can enjoy scenic views across the blue water before retracing their steps back to the trailhead.
