It is incredibly pretty with amazing ocean views and lush vegetation (especially in spring). The last half mile of the trail is along a signed spur trail (off the Coast Trail). As you approach the top of Alamere Falls from the spur trail, it becomes a bit tricky to negotiate . You need to carefully scramble down to Alamere Creek, which is a bit ste ep. Then you must cross Alamere Creek, which may be tricky in high water. At this point a pretty upper cascade is viewed, 3 separate cascades about 30 ft. in total height. From the top of the cliff, you can also get a nice side view of Alamere Falls itself, dropping 40 ft. down onto the beach. T o get down to the beach, you must carefully scramble down the cliff.
