valhikes, 12 days ago Day 3 was the longest of them all, but also the most single track trail, the most old growth. Oh, yeah, and the most downhill. A little river and creek and lots of trees.

A narrow bridge crosses a creek that is currently wide and flat below, with a gentle blue color. Trail is visible at either side. A tree grows at the edge of the water on the far side. Tunnel through a stump. A fallen stump, hollow in the middle, has trail going through it. More trees are visible beyond, also quite wide. Path through California/coastal redwoods. Huge trees rise from the sides. Shorter trees fill in some of the spaces below. Ferns fill in the rest of the space on the ground. A trail goes down the middle.
