HikerValley View Loop from Coxing
The appeal here is variety within one outing: water, shaded woods and a more open road section. Confirm the return connection on the Coxing map before starting so a scenic side trip does not silently become a longer traverse. Leave time for the forest portions, not just the most recognizable photo stop.
