To celebrate our 6th anniversary this year, we took a hike! We hiked the Purisima Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve: a 7 mile loop in the Santa Cruz mountains.
We saw a banana slug before we even hit the trail!
Eager to start!
These "second-growth" redwoods grow around the stump of an older tree.
The climb to the ridge reveals rewarding views.
What a great hike!
On our way out we saw fields of brussel sprouts!
And fields of flowers!
