Father's Day! Dan had to work. So when he got done at 4:00, what did I do for him?
Made him go on a 7 mile hike at Henry Cowell Park. Now tonight he gets to take a
muscle-relaxant and go to bed! The good thing about Dan's schedule is that he can
eat anything he wants and never gains weight!
The upper regions of Henry Cowell are full of pines, not Redwoods.
This This is the view from the Observation Deck at the highest point in the park.
This is one of the sandy trails leading to the observation deck. This area used to be an ocean floor. Like being at the beach.
Resting at the Observation Deck. Dan wanted to take a nap but no chance of that.
More views from the Observation Deck.
Redwoods on the way back to the car
This is actually some falls in Mt Hermon, about 1/4 mile from the house, on Bean Creek. We walked here first, before going to Henry Cowell.Terri's first hike! Dan is pointing out that on one side of the trail is Bean Creek and the other side is Zayante Creek.
Back to Henry Cowell. The observation deck from below.
Obviously a map of the Park.
The Observation Deck. It could use some places to sit!

I thought the same thing about the observation deck, they could sure use some seating. I think we have done this hike a couple of times, from a couple of different directions... I like this area, so majectic from the top.
Happy Fathers day Dan. A day well spent.
