honestly it made me feel like a kid again playing in the woods. we spent the whole day hiking and splashing in the little creeks and I didn't want to leave... teh scenery was absolutly stunning with all the towering redwoods and ferns covering the ground. its one of those places that reminds you why you love being outside and we are definately going back for another trip soon.

It's definitely one of the best mountain bike trails in California. Traveling almost 2 hours and visiting once or twice a year, so whenever I'm there, I'm taking my time, not just mountain biking but enjoying the sceneries as well. I'm using regular bike, but I cramp a lot. Just wishing ebike SL (super light) will be allowed in the future. Best on weekdays

Great mushroom Hunting and foraging experience! We took a guided tour for the mushroom hunting and had a great time here. The terrain is very uneven so be careful if you step outside off the trails and into the forest. Remember the directions towards the trail, offline maps and a compass app is a must. once you are inside the forest, all directions look the same. Remember to pack a rainproof jacket and some water and survival supplies just in case. Although the experience was fun, the guided tours can get expensive so I'm not sure if we'd do a guided tour again. These are public lands (passing one private property in between) so you can forage with hobbyists and other enthusiasts. Always triple check a mushroom before consuming.
