This is one of the best preserves to visit during a summer heat wave as the trails up the north facing slopes are cloaked in forests of oak, bay, and madrone. These trails ascend through shaded woodlands to reach the ridge beside clusters of massive redwoods and fields of ferns. So many different habitats mean that there is a tremendous variety of animals to encounter as you ascend from the valley to the redwood groves at the top. The open places at the top are usually moist from summer fog drip and caressed by cool west winds.
Getting there:
