When to use this
Use this page when the coastal path is crowded or closed and higher alternatives might be considered as a backup, not a casual substitute.
Why it matters
The Park has a broader trail network beyond the famous coastal route, and those higher paths can help a flexible walker avoid brittle plans. They are still real route choices, not casual sightseeing, and should be matched to current conditions and ability.
Planning limits
Check official route status, difficulty, route numbers, warnings, weather, and the Park map before using higher trails. Higher trails can be demanding; check the current route, difficulty and expected duration against your group’s abilities.
