| no partners | | This trail is usually done as a two or three day backpacking trip. We decided to hike this in a day, 11 hours to be exact.
We started at sunrise (7:30am) at Castle Rock State Park and continued down past Highway 9 to Waterman Gap (campground). Then it is onto Big Basin Redwoods State Park. The trail here has few ups and downs, otherwise mostly downhill. You will pass the park Headquarters and continue on Berry Creek Trail towards the famous waterfall. Once you pass the waterfall you will need to cross the river couple times and then the trail becomes fire road that leads to the beach and is flat. This part of the hike is very nice, close to the river and very easy. Once you need Waddell Beach, you are at your finish of 30 mile hike. We got there around 6:15pm and enjoyed few beers before starting our drive back.
This hike is best done as one way north to south, you will need to set up shuttle for this. |
