Kortum Trail, Sonoma Coast State Beach

Took Kortum Trail for about 3 miles or so along the rugged coastline of Sonoma Coast State Beach, and up to the top of a rather intimidating hill with a stunning view of the surrounding cliffs.  If it had been a bit less foggy we would have been able to see Goat Rock just a few miles down (our planned destination for the following day).  However, after braving that hill we were more in the mood for a delicious seafood lunch in Bodega Bay (The Tides not only has yummy food, but also great windows for watching frolicking sea lions!) rather than several more hours worth of hiking.
