I was feeling lazy after spending the early afternoon reading so I did this loop through the heart of Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park. The Prairie Creek Trail parallels the Drury Parkway, but it's far enough away to not be noticeable. The section of Prairie Creek north from the visitor center area is a classic old growth redwood forest. It's dark, flat and dank. Big Tree sounds like a nice destination, but there have always been people standing in front of the tree posing for an endless barrage of future Facebook posts. It seems like more of a social experiment than a natural wonder.
I walked back to my campsite by the visitors center, but luckily my money was safe because it was closed.
