Maps used today:
Purisima Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve
Today we are joined by Boyd as well as our friend Richard. Our route takes us through dense, moist, and utterly beautiful redwoods, firs, oaks, and madrones as we make our way up along Purisima Canyon toward Kings Mountain. Coming out of the redwoods into the sun at the top of the canyon, we are now in the San Francisco Bay watershed.
We met a hiker practicing for the John Muir Trail -- he hikes down into the canyon and back up twice per outing for a few thousand feet of elevation change, while carrying a 30-pound pack. He and his daughter leave for the JMT in two weeks.
