Tennessee Valley Golden Gate Loop trail was an average distance hike that overlapped with another trail I hiked not so long ago. It was quite a bit shorter, but still had lovely views of the ocean, especially on a clear day like today.
The length of the hike was just under 6 miles with about 1,300 ft elevation gain. Some sections were pretty steep (stairs) and others merely "rolling hills". This is one of the more popular trails. It was pretty crowded and the parking lot filled up pretty quickly in the morning. Several school buses were waiting as students hiked to the beach just a mile or so away.
What I loved about this hike is watching the fog from above. If you are lucky and there is some fog by the beach, you might be able to feel much further up than you really are!
Overall, a pleasant hike by the beach with a bit of cardio.
