Big Basin Redwoods

Sunday in the spring with no plans?  It's why I love Onions.  9:20, I jump on him in bed, tell him, let's go hiking down near Santa Cruz.  9:38 we are in the car on our way!

Big Basin Redwoods is home to some coastal Redwoods (the same ones as up north near Oregon) and California's first (as in oldest) state park.

We hiked along the "Skyline to Sea" trail (which is a famous three day, two-night hike which I hopefully will get Onions to do someday).

The hike through the trees.....

Can't have mud on our shoes now....




The famed bananaslug, Onions' first!

About four miles in, we turned the corner to see Berry Creek Falls.


In and out in about three and a half hours.  Beautiful day.  Yosemite in a few weeks!
