We flew with some turkey vultures in the area. This is the closest experience to flying like a bird. My instructor has flown over 10000 flights so I was in good hands. The video is of Alice landing after me. She landed on her feet and my instructor landed on the wheels. I will post the go pro footage later. Another great adventure!

I arrived at the glider port and then the instructor who was very nice Andy the owner came. We took a 40m drive to the glider port the team set everything up. Watched video on a iPad for quick training it was very simple instructions even kids can learn. We were up 35-40 high went fast, circled around and landed on the ground safe. Willie was my tandem pilot his landing style is very graceful and you land on your feet while Andy the former airplane pilot expert likes to land on wheels it was pretty cool. I'm really excited to get home and watch the gro pro footages of our mountain tandem hang gliding.

The flight there was beautiful, the flight back was beautiful as well but a lot more fun. Our Pilot, Dave, was a fantastic host. It is clear from the second you meet him that he has been doing this for a long time and loves what he does. He was very courteous and friendly. He pointed out various landmarks as we flew and looked like he was having as much fun as we were. Trust me on this, if you take the flight out to the Julian Pie Company let Dave have some fun flying through the canyons on the way back. Trust me :) If you have been thinking about taking a helicopter ride, stop thinking and do it, you won't regret it. Thanks again Dave!!! I'll definitely be back.

Walking down is a pretty steep decline, so be sure to watch your step. When you get down to the beach, you'll notice how clean and clear the water is and I was amazed by the number of tide pools there were! I was able to see so many crawfish, little baby crabs, and even a starfish! I've never seen so many sea creatures up close and personal so it was definitely a cool experience. It's really easy to spend a few hours here just taking everything in. We came at around 12pm on a Saturday and the trail wasn't too crowded. The trail itself is also very clean and not difficult; the most physically demanding part is walking back up to the parking lot from the beach because it's all incline, however, I think it's doable for most people. There is a parking lot that costs $12 for parking the entire day.

The beach cove and sea cave are open to the public and super fun to explore though the closer you get to the cave the rockier the incline so be careful, watch your step and have on some sensible foot attire. The cliff side mountain structure is beautiful as well, the formation of various shades of earth, gorgeous brown, orange, beige, gray and truly cool hues. There are some wooden Adirondack chairs apart of the resort, free to use lots of patches of sand and rocks to spread out a small blanket or sit on and views upon views of the ocean. Picnic friendly, but very quaint. You can see a lot of look out points and paths close by and just before you decline there is one final pool area (for guest)with tables on the outside for public use. It's very serene, peaceful and even with packs of adorable families and energetic kids very relaxing. The waves and breeze kind of make everything calm (holding the hand of someone special for a beat doesn't hurt either). Unfortunately pets aren't allowed in this area and there is a bridge with a pup corner with rails to leave your dog as well as bowls for water. Felt bad for the one we saw wanting to play with their family, but I'm optimistic they got spoiled after. Definitely will get lost in this cove meets cave meets beach again in the near future.

No one bothered us though! The cove itself has a rocky beach with beach chairs, and a kayak rental service if you want to explore the cave by the ocean. If you time your visit to coincide with a low tide, you can clamber on some rocks to get to the cave. Unfortunately, I couldn't explore at low tide and I didn't have time to rent a kayak. I did find the stroll enjoyable as the path is well maintained. There are publicly accessible bathrooms on the way down to the cove.
