Trillium Falls Hike

In Redwood National State & National Park.

Not what I was expecting. There always seems to be so much hype about these falls and hike, but after doing the loop, I was unimpressed. We hiked right past Trillium Falls thinking "that's too small, that can't be it". But it was Trillium Falls. Oh well, it was still an enjoyable hike, but I was expecting a lot more.

 

Total Miles: About 3.0

Prairie Creek Redwoods Hike

Near Orick, CA on the Humboldt Coast.

 

A great loop-hike through the redwoods at Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park. This included the Friendship Ridge trail, which was an amazing section that we have never hiked.

Total Miles: 16.5

Total Time: 06:19:45

 

The Hammond Coastal Trail - North

We did a nice hike on the Hammond Coastal Trail starting in McKinlyville, CA. From Hiller Park we hiked North for 5 miles to Clam Beach, had lunch near the ocean, and hiked back to our starting point. 

Total miles: 10.25

Total time (with lunch): 3 hours, 46 minutes

Fun Day On The McCloud River

We got in a McCloud River Trail hike, casting small spinners for trout, cooling off in the river, and disbursed camping that night in the Modoc National Forest. Pretty much avoided the July 4th holiday crowds with strategic planning. 😁
