GUALALA REDWOODS ROAD

"It was a very pleasant day for a walk through the redwoods on their logging road near the river. We found a nice log to sit on for our lunch and some scarlet monkeyflower or Mimulus cardinalis  in bloom nearby," Bob (Flower photo credit too!)

 

Carpool at the pullout for Gualala business directory just north of bridge at 10:30 and meet for the 2nd carpool at 10:45 at The Sea Ranch Business Center on Annapolis Rd. Turn right before you reach the Fire Station. We can park along the cul-de-sac by the building supply.  Sea Ranch members please bring along extra hang tags for non Sea Ranchers. We will be hiking on a mostly shady logging road that starts near Valley Crossing and follows the south fork of the Gualala River south of Annapolis Road. The hike will be about four miles with lunch near the river at the half way point. Although it is mostly level, it is a bit uneven and we think boots would be a good idea. This hike is on private property (Gualala Redwoods) and it's a very beautiful, peaceful area.
