Fern Canyon

Our last hike of the trip was through the strikingly beautiful Fern Canyon.  It is totally different from the majestic redwood forest of our other hikes.
As you can see it was a wet hike, at times I'd call it a 'wade' but oh the greenery!  It is impossible to truly capture the beauty.  Thousands of ferns of many varieties cover the 50 foot high canyon walls. Water trickles down the rocky sides!  
The guide books say it has a primeval habitat quality and in fact it was used a a filming location for 'The Lost World - Jurassic Park' as well as for several other dinosaur movies.  
   Definitely worth the wet shoes and socks!
