Prairie Creek Redwoods 9/20

The ocean conditions were unfishable so we took our friends from Oregon and SoCal on an epic hike through the redwoods and fern canyon. We followed the James Irvine Trail up and down until it led us to a dirt road with lots of traffic heading to fern canyon, which prompted our friends to ask, “why didn’t we just drive down here?”  After a quick picnic lunch we hiked through fern canyon and continued on back to where we started.  We hiked about 13 scenic miles.

Beautiful hike. We enjoyed that one as well.

You guys are getting around!   

One of the prettiest places I have camped, and the trails through the park are full of wonders - "octopus" trees growing out of downed redwoods, elk in the meadows, etc.   The tent did get a little damp after a few days, no rain, just cool humidity.   

Beautiful place. Thanks for posting some photos. Back in my HSU days I could drive up there and grab a campsite on the beach with no reservations. I miss those days.

I’ve done that hike as well! Awesome. Way to make up for leas than ideal fishing conditions

Very nice! You might also enjoy the trail to the Grove of Titans in Jedediah Smith State and National Park. They just opened the trail up after it being closed for the last two years. I hadn't done it in about 5 years and was able to take my grandson on it the day after it was opened. He thought it was pretty cool, and he sees them every day!

Thank you. I’ll keep that in mind for the next time I am up that way.
