Just north of the Wilderness, Cape Perpetua offers you a chance to see migrating whales December to May, and Perpetua Campground offers campsites. Cummins Creek Trail follows the creek for a couple of deep forest miles, but then turns north and circles back toward Cape Perpetua along Gwynn Creek outside the Wilderness. You may keep following Cummins Creek along a pleasant but unofficial path. The Cummins Ridge Trail follows the entire ridge between Cummins and Bob Creeks across the Wilderness for 6.2 miles through outstanding old growth Sitka spruce. This ridgecrest trail can be connected at both ends by vehicle to eliminate the need for backtracking.
