Description
Coming off of the Redwood Creek Trail it seems like you'll be hiking through the past. The lush forest and ferns growing off the side of Fern Creek makes one think of prehistoric times. This is a relatively flat trail meandering just like the creek. Watch the landscape change as you move away from the main trail.
