Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park

A relatively unknown location, Fern Canyon is exactly what it sounds like. Wall to wall ferns make this short hike feel truly prehistoric. #ADVENTURE

I don't qualify for this contest, but I can't resist throwing a few #beach photos in.
Keep your pup on a leash here, wouldn't want to irritate the bears.

Fern Canyon is in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park in Humboldt County, California. The trail through the canyon is a short, easy walk with several stream crossings. During peak season, boards are conveniently placed across the stream.

Ferns found here include California polypody, deer fern, licorice fern, and western sword fern. The fern most abundantly draping the walls of the canyon are western maidenhair ferns.

A great surprise. The Big Tree and a few hikes through this heavily wooded park are in order. It reminded me of Hoa in the Olympic Penisula
