This month - Fall Creek!
The Santa Cruz Classic - a refreshing walk along the creekside of Fall Creek. Fall Creek is the northern area of Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park. One of the park’s best kept secrets, it is 2,390 acres – the entire watershed of Fall Creek – and has about 20 miles of hiking trails. Most of these trails follow old wagon and logging roads that once led to busy industrial sites.
We'll be using the main entrance this time.

Directions
Parking is free! From Highway 17, take the Scotts Valley/Mount Hermon Rd exit. Continue on Mt. Hermon Road for 3.8 miles. Turn right onto Graham Hill Road. Continuing past Highway 9, the road now becomes Felton-Empire Grade. Go about 1/2 mile and turn right into the parking lot. Caution, it is very easy to miss this turn.
Bring water and a snack to share. Masks are encouraged, but not mandatory.
We walk in silence on the way in - doing so brings Nature so much closer to us, as we take in not only the sights, but the sounds and even smells of a nice country walk.
At a turnaround spot we will rest and share food. (Yes, we can do that again!)
Then we gab like magpies all the way back. It's always a great time.
Check ahead to make sure the walk is happening! Poor weather and, frankly, past attendance may cancel a walk.
