We took a hike through the redwood forest at Limekiln State Park to visit the old lime kilns for which the park is named.
Lots of water flowing in the creeks this time of year.
One of the big kilns in the forest.
These kilns are really big. You can still walk around them although I imagine in a few years the area will be closed off as the kilns become more unstable.
We hiked up the canyon next to the lime kilns to check out a waterfall.
After a lovely night camping along the beach, Heather, Zach, Vera, and I headed up the trail and into the redwoods.
This is a gorgeous piece of coastline where a road was built in such an improbable location.
Just look at that kelp forest!
Some pretty California Poppies along the trail.
Partway through the hike.
Getting up into the redwoods.
Big, beautiful trees.
A beautiful creek in the redwood grove.
Crossing on an old redwood log.
Clean, clear water.
Looking down the canyon toward our campsite.
The lighthouse out at Point Pinos is beautiful.
Big waves coming in.
Love the sound of the ocean!
I wish I had the time to sit here and watch this forever.
Lots of bird poop on that rock!
Waking up with the sunrise.
Little brighter…
Little brighter… the reflection of the sun on the bay is amazing.
Later on in the day.
