Fern Canyon-Orick, Ca.

September 10,
We drove over eight miles on a dirt road and through three creeks to get to the trail head for Fern Canyon. The top picture is a small pond in the dunes just before the trailhead. Looking south we saw a large herd of elk near the state campground, too far away for pictures.

We walked to Fern Canyon and followed the path up the creek, looking at the fern covered walls, lush and beautiful.

After we returned to US 101, we saw another large elk herd near the side of the road. The large male seemed to be the master of the harem.

We headed home but had to stop at the Tour Through Tree---you just have to be the classic tourist once in awhile......
