Big Basin Redwoods Park- Waterfall Loop




Big Basin Redwoods Park has many hiking trails with tall trees. We chose the Waterfall loop for obvious reasons.

The humidity was much higher than what we were used to in Colorado.  Lots of moss and ferny type of vegetation.

Several types of mushrooms along the trail.

We went in February and were prepared for rain but were pleasantly surprised we had none. Lots of tree canopy and shade.

These banana slugs were common here. Never saw one before.


Here you can see the scale of the tree height.


One of the three waterfalls along the trail.


Coming to another waterfall.





Railings to get past this waterfall.

Last Waterfall on the trail. Total distance was 11 miles- no elevation really.


Loved these tall trees!



Climbing around , under, and over downed logs added to the fun.
