It had been a long time since I had Mt Hermon Redwood Canopy Tour:
We got a quick tour to use the safety equipment:
Then we went for the course, taking the hardest elements:
After the tree course, we went to the nearby Henry Cowell Redwoods state park. The plan was to have lunch and go swim in the garden of eden, but we ended up going for a "quick hike", that took a few hours due to terrain and maps that didn't match reality:
there is a redwoods steam train, we took its bridge across the river
we then walked down to the river for lunch
I guess scouts go and practise in the area
the trail maps was incomplete and at times, just a suggestion
We got to the river a few times, and did a dicey river crossing that was not indicated on the map:
the river had crayfish
We then had to hike up to the train tracks, which turned out to be th trail:
After way longer than planned, we finally got to garden of eden, although by then it was a bit late and cold to go in the water:
So, we hiked out and had a nice drive back through hwy9 and bear creek road, with sunset on the way:
