The trail is best described as eye opening. The hike can be challenging with some sections including some elevation hiking. The trail explores a shoreline, old paths and sections of logging roads depending on how far you go. There are arbutus trees, Garry Oak trees and hairy manzanita. Sections of the trail explore routes with fields of salal.

The falcons share the region with Bald Eagles and turkey vultures. The 3 predator birds attract many birdwatchers to the trail and park.
