Big Basin Redwoods State Park in Santa Cruz Country

Big Basin is California's oldest State Park, established in 1902. It is home to the largest continuous stand of Ancient Coast Redwoods south of San Francisco and provides refuge to many species of animals including banana slugs, Giant Pacific Salamanders, woodpeckers, deer, tree frogs, rough-skinned newts, garter snakes, egrets, and herons.

Below are pictures from day hikes in the park.
