Fern Canyon - Redwood National Park

Fern Canyon is next to Golden Bluff
It was rather cold out! Here is Amanda putting on her sweater.
Dinosaurs anyone? Did you know that part of Jurassic Park: Lost World was filmed in Fern Canyon?

Hungry anyone? Mushrooms were growing on this trunk.

One of the mini waterfalls along the wall of the canyon.

Jay climbing over a log with the assistance of Amanda. It turned out to be the end of the line. Behind this stack was more trees and impassable.

The Canyon floor had a stream flowing through it and we were trying to stay dry by climbing and walking over logs (Jay did an AWESOME job), but on the return trip we just looked for shallow places and walked through it!

Happily wet and tired!

The road leading into Gold Bluff park. It is very rough and you actually drive through some streams, so one's car looks like they have gone off roading! Oh wait..I DID go off roading!

Wild Elk! We saw them in the meadow that is at the entrance/exit of the park..this was on the way out. "Do not run up to the Elk's" That is what the warning sign said. Who would?!

This is a Little Red School House just on the south end of Orick. It is actually a museum now.
