May 20, 2022,Fall Creek Trail in Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park

Nice hike along a beautiful and refreshing creek. Best option during hot summer days. The parking lot is relatively small, so it gets full pretty early. Wait patiently for some other car to leave. This hike takes you to the historic limestone kilns of Henry Cowell. Billboards illustrate the history of the kilns and how they worked.
