I agree thats gotta be the best hike in the Bay and its perfect down here…last time I went, there was a huge tree down on sunset trail and I guess it must have been recently struck by lightning because it had hollowed out to a bed coals….really neat but the only way across was a large branch that crossed over the bed of coals.

Saw the falls, but killed my camera at the water crossing on Skyline to the Sea just before the turn where the Berry Creek Falls are visible. Got a few pictures I’ll post later.
