The Salal Trail on The Sea Ranch is a public access trail. It begins at Gualala Point Regional Park. Just after the pay station, turn left into the parking area. The signs for the trail are there. The trail goes along Highway One, past the golf course, and then heads west. Salal Creek accompanies you and rewards you with a beautiful sight. John Guinn captured the magic of the Salal Creek falls.

Here's a photo I took some time ago.

It's a beautiful part of the trail.

Thanks to John for allowing me to share his photo with you here.

We've had some nice soaking rain. Creeks and rivers are flowing wonderfully now. I read my rain gauge in the 7 am hour. As of Sunday morning we've had 2.68 inches of rain (Donna, I told you an incorrect total this morning!). Season to date we've had 43.41 inches. It's raining as I type this and we have a river of rain event predicted for tomorrow, Monday.

Margaret Lindgren recently led a hike which included Salal Trail, a public access trail that begins at Gualala Point Regional Park and then onto The Sea Ranch. There is a beautiful cascade to discover.

This is a beautiful spot. Here is a photo I took several years ago, showing more of the pond.

Oh my, the weather is sunny and chilly. Visitors here for the holidays are enjoying everything the Mendonoma Coast has to offer.

Local streams and rivers were beneficiaries of the late May rains. Ruth Alexander photographed the beautiful cascades along Salal Creek, a public access trail on The Sea Ranch.

I did a post a couple of years ago on how to find the Salal Trail. Here is a link to that post: http://www.mendonomasightings.com/tag/salal-trail/

You will learn the trail actually starts at Gualala Point Regional Park.

Thanks to Ruth for allowing me to share her photo with you here.
