Last weekend, Stacey and I did a longer hike in
Big Basin Redwoods State Park, ~11 miles round trip. We took Skyline to the Sea trail out to Berry Creek falls, spotting banana slugs left and right. Then we turned north on Berry Creek Falls trail to see Silver Falls and Golden Cascade Falls, where we stopped for lunch. From there, we climbed up out of the redwoods into a higher alpine elevation for a few miles before descending back down (and up and down again) on Sunset trail. It was a longer hike than usual, and we were glad we did it.
