Report Details
Two people were fishing from the rocks at the north end of Mile 226 and had a pickup in the access parking area on Otter Crest Loop there. There were two to three cars at the Lookout parking area and several people were at the observation points. Nothing notable was observed regarding wildlife or with the driftline. No physical changes, manmade or otherwise, were observed. The rockfall deposit in the ocean below the gift shop at the Lookout looks larger than normal, most likely because of a tide level lower than that at which it is normally observed.

Mile 226 continues to see very little human activity due to the difficulty of access because of tall basalt cliffs rising directly out of the ocean with few small pocket beaches.
