Pacific Northwest Trip: Part 10
Located in Prairie Creek Redwoods SP, run by Redwood National and State Parks, THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!!
There were Elk on the way in, banana slugs above the canyon, Elk on the beach, and so much beautiful scenery I didn't know how to stop filming.
The Gold Bluffs Beach Day Use Area is accessed down a long dirt road. There are a couple water crossings before you get to the final trailhead, so be ready for that.
The hike itself isn't too long. It's hiking in a stream(Home Creek) through a canyon with ferns and waterfalls lining the walls. There is some minor scrambling to get around some fallen trees but nothing too crazy. At the end of the canyon there are steps leading up to the rim where you begin the hike back to the trailhead.
We opted to check out the Pacific Ocean, the beach, the bluffs, and a herd of elk on the dunes. It was a really memorable adventure!
