Deb Walkup, Lori Heyman, and I joined David Bergman (who hiked the TRT with us last week) on his Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District Cool Summer hike at El Corte de Madera Creek OSP (map). We drove through a thick, cold, fog on the way, and the roads were wet with the moisture that the redwoods had captured from that fog.
The hike took us through redwood and Douglas fir forests, fields of huckleberry, chaparral with manzanita and madrone, and some sandstone formations called tafoni. It also took us past the 1953 wreckage of the DC-6 called Resolution.
After enjoying the captions below, you can view larger versions of the photos by clicking on them. You can see even larger versions of the photos by viewing the slideshow in full screen (F11). You can also view the photos on a map, or download the GPS tracks of the hike.
