Squeezed in one more hike this month! A friend recommended Purisima Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve, so there we went. The views were gorgeous.
Some steep uphills and brutal wind, as well as leftover mud from the rain a couple days ago, but nothing unmanageable (although we did manage to to choose a direction where the muddy parts were uphill for us). Also, the banana slugs were out in force.
