Field notes

Four places, one long road

Stops from last summer's drive along the coast. Use the arrows to move between them.

A wild coast

Sea stacks and green water at the end of a long dirt road. Go early: by noon the tide covers the best rocks.

A quiet reservoir

Green islands on still blue water, an hour from the nearest town. The trail to the top takes most of a morning.

A quiet valley

Granite walls, a calm river and nobody else around at sunrise. Bring a warm layer: it stays cold until the sun clears the ridge.

A hidden waterfall

A short walk through the pines to a waterfall few people know. The path is steep for the last few minutes.
