"Arrived to minimal cars in the lot on a misty morning. Lots of backpackers! Hit the beach and immediately noticed humpback whales showing off. Spent a few hours watching them before making my way to the canyon slot waterfall. Gorgeous falls! Wandered the low tide potholes before heading out after about 6 hours with toddler and two dogs in tow. Happy to finally check this spot off my list! I would not attempt this on a weekend, it’s always insane." --Merissa Ionescu, Alltrails.com
