Trillium Falls Redwood National Park |
June 23, 2017
As I exit the route down to Fern Canyon, another opportunity presents itself at a roadside picnic area.
A longer loop is available, but I'll just check out the falls themselves.
The ubiquitous ferns
Most of this route seems to be a steep climb up a few switchbacks.
Stump Blossom fungi
The equally ubiquitous tall redwoods
Almost there
Trillium Falls are tiny, yet quite photogenic
A real-time view
The 'artsy' option
Scrambling down beside the wooden overlook provides a different perspective:
Reminiscent of the New Zealand rain forest
This is one of more than 1,000 redwood groves dedicated since 1921 under the auspices of the Save the Redwoods League. You also could dedicate a grove with a contribution of $35,000 or more.
Old growth, new growth
Blackberries
End of the trail
§: Well, I didn't expect much from this
lesser-known trail; but the walk was quite pleasant,
and my photographs proved more interesting than was
anticipated. It was too late in the season, however,
to see any actual trilliums.
