The trail is marked by a variety of natural features, including a dense forest canopy, a variety of local flora and fauna, and a notable rock formation known as the "Sea Lion Caves." The trail also offers views of the Yachats River, a significant water body in the region. Hikers should be prepared for a steep incline near the river, which can be challenging but rewarding. The trail is well-maintained and marked, making navigation relatively straightforward. For those planning a hike, it's recommended to wear sturdy footwear due to the trail's rocky terrain.
