Narrative: I went to Lands End and walked around the coastal trails. I saw lots of cool plants and took a detour to Mile Rock Beach, where I climbed a rock. There was a lot more stairs then I was anticipating so I was exhausted by the time my hike ended. It was also very windy to the point where my hat blew off and had to chase it. Other than the weather, it was a very peaceful hike and I will hike there again when I have the chance.
