I made the long, beautiful drive down the narrow, winding road to Big Basin Redwoods State Park, the oldest State Park in California. The rather spontaneous…

Another picture of the same tree. It woulld probably take four pictures to cover the entire tree.

Great single track winding through the Redwoods.

The Skyline to the Sea trali runs down to the bottom of the valley and follows Kelly Creek for a while.
Some great creek scenery.
Beautiful terrain.
An amazing grouping of Redwoods all grown together.
Looking up the trees.
Single track along the creek. It's just a litlte too well groomed to be truly epic trail, but the landscape is tough to beat.
Crossing the creek and heading towards Berry Creek Falls.
Under and through the Redwoods.
The first view of Berry Creek Falls through the trees.
Now on the Berry Creek Falls trail on a tree bridge crossing the creek.
Berry Creek Falls. One of the nicer falls I've seen in a while. At 70 feet tall, it's not huge, but it's perfectly picturesque, complete with rainbow.
A slightly different angle. Berry Creek Falls is spring fed, so there's still decent water flow even in a record dry year.
Video of the falls.
The trail heads up the side of the falls.
