Just past the 3.8-mile, two-hour loop of the Pygmy Forest Trail you can continue through a mixed evergreen forest, a grassy prairie surrounded by pines, and lots of mushrooms and wildflowers.

Start out on Central Trail, located near the ranger station. You’ll pass madrone, Douglas fir, tan oaks, and eucalyptus as you ascend steadily upward. The occasional interpretive signs are interesting, describing various plants and the way they were used by the area’s first residents, the Kashaya Pomo.

After you’ve walked about one-and-a-half miles you’ll come to an intersection; turn left onto the North Trail, which brings you through the pygmy forest. Turn left again at the Water Tank Trail; it’s short, less than a quarter mile, at which time you rejoin the Central Trail. Turn left to continue on the South Trail to a large prarie. Turning right brings you back to the ranger station parks.ca.gov/?page_id=453
