Hiking Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park

After many years, we returned to Felton to hike in the beautiful Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park. Inna decided to follow the river to the Cathedral Redwoods.

We followed the Pipeline Road (which parallels River Trail) from the parking lot to the Cathedral Redwoods, a small grove of giant sequoias. It was a pleasant day to hike among the giant redwoods.

 

Here are my Strava statistics:

We stopped by Chocolate in Santa Cruz for a delicious lunch on the way back. We ordered the following items there:

• Drinks: Hot Apple Cider (delicious)
• Inna: Greek Salad with cold-spiced Salmon
• Boris: Chicken Pot Pie with Greek Salad
• Desserts: Hot Chocolate: Frida, Belga

Hiking Sawyer Camp Trail South in Burlingame

Inna and I decided to try walking a new trail in Burlingame. She heard the Sawyer Trail South is an easy, paved trail along the Crystal Spring Reservoir. 

We arrived and parked our Tesla near the trailhead. The two-hour roundtrip hike was straightforward, and we managed a breakneck pace (3/5 miles/hour).

It was a straightforward, enjoyable hike, and we hope to do it again. There were many hikers and bikers on the trail.
