10 miles of hiking • 1250' elevation gain • 2 nights
Started at base camp on Friday, at the hike-and-bike camp. Walked around a little bit in the small trails, saw a waterfall, a stream with ducks. Slept under a giant redwood. Saturday I climbed up the trail into the peak in the open space preserve to the east of the park. 5 or 6 miles each way, the trail through the redwoods was not well maintained fallen trees at 2 spots totally blocking it (had to do some climbing) but then the top of the hills is wide open fields with a great view but no shade. Sunday, had blisters so just a short walk around the camp then got picked up and went home.
