About This Trail
The Pomo Canyon Environmental Campsite is currently closed, but you can still do this hike. There is plenty of free parking at the trailhead, which is currently marked by a fence and a closed sign. The hike starts off a bit steep, but ends in a beautiful grove of ferns. You should look for wildflowers in the spring and early summer after a mile or two. You have to head down to Shell Beach after hiking through a meadow. The return hike is not as steep. It is recommended that you wear sunscreen and bring water.
