After our time in the redwoods, we headed south for a place called Fern Canyon. The park where we had visited had been the filming location for part of Return of the Jedi and Fern Canyon was the location for part of Jurassic World. It was not easy to get to, but well worth the trouble. After leaving the highway and winding through the woods the road went from paved to gravel to dirt. We made a couple of questionable crossings in the rental car but arrived in good shape. Part of Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, the trail cut through a stream bed that was walled in by ferns.
With all of the ferns, foliage, and water trickling down the walls it felt like a rainforest.
At this point, "trail" is a loose term
After exploring the canyon we walked out to the beach. It would be our last time to dip our toes in the ocean on this trip. We soaked in the sun and sea air. Tomorrow it would be time to point the car back north toward Seattle.
