| Notes: | The rustic stone shelter with its fantastic ocean view can be accessed by a short hike on the Whispering Spruce Trail from the upper parking lot. But to truly experience the area and appreciate the view, I recommend taking the Saint Perpetua Trail and starting the hike from the Visitor's Center. |
