[Trail] Coastal Trail [Length (one way) (miles)] 4.8 [Elevation Change (feet)] level [Trail Description] 
Over 70 miles of the Coastal Trail pass through the redwood parks; the Prairie Creek section links the Carruthers Cove Trail with the north end of Davison Road near Fern Canyon - along the edge of the wide, windswept sands of Gold Bluffs Beach, which are home to a large herd of elk. Some parts of the trail are through open woodland, close to but out of sight of the ocean.
