Loop)
- On the way to the trail
head
- Elk on the side
of the road
- Something got his attention
- And so starts
the 13 mile loop
- What the bridge crossed
- A little too vivid...Dan and
Phil
- Almost...
- Tons of great sights
- Pictures don't do
justice
- And very difficult to scale the
height
- Here's a little scale with Dan and Phil walking
between them
- A vast forest
- Phil by a fallen
trunk
- Dan (and his
shoulders) next to one
- Further down the trail
- There were a few man-made (presumably)
bridges
- Don't see protrusions like that
- A little obstacle
in the trail
- Made it past that
- Absolutely enormous
- Would love to see how that gets
split
- Finally some
downhill
- Falling behind
on purpose
- Almost has a predator
feel to it, especially super vivid
- Hopefully nothing swooping through
the trees
- Universal sign of exhaustion
- Fern Canyon!!
- Convenient walkways to avoid the water
- And we almost
didn't go down here after missing the turn
- This was the end of our line
- Little waterfall
- And one last one
- Made it out, but looking back
- We didn't make it very far walking along the
beach
- Following Dan's lead to more solid
ground
- Success
- Still scenic even on the
road
- No tsunamis
to worry about that day
- Huge tree
- Almost hard to follow the path
- Yep, that's a
tree
- The last
redwood pic

of the ocean

in

- Stop at
Odell
Lake on the way
- A little smoky on the
drive
- Trees not
looking so great
- Stop on Crater Lake ...just not our
trail
- Lot of
winding roads
- And
we made it
- We can only imagine if it was
clear
- Definitely don't want to
step
down there
- We never did make it down to the
island
- For the most part, not a
difficult trail
- A little
further
- The were boats going to the
island
- As
close as we got
- We could barely see at some
points
- Driving
forward to northern
California

setting
