| Scenic long hikes in Big Basin Redwoods State
Park
Big Basin Redwoods is
California's oldest state park (established 1902). In addition to its ancient
redwoods, it has some of the Bay Area's finest waterfalls. For today's outing,
Catherine Baker '97 will lead energetic Princetonians on the park's most
spectacular (but strenuous) hike, an 11-12 mile loop past Berry Creek, Silver,
and Golden Falls. Meanwhile, Dan Sullivan '63 will lead a somewhat more
leisurely walk along the Skyline-to-the-Sea Trail that may get as far as Berry
Creek Falls (8 miles round trip). Princeton friends and family are welcome. For
more information about the park, see www.bigbasin.org
Directions: From Highway 85 west of San Jose, take the Saratoga Road exit and go
west a few miles to join Highway 9 in Saratoga. Stay on Highway 9 as it winds
through the mountains for 12 miles. Turn right onto Highway 236 and continue for
another 9 winding miles to the park. We will meet at the park headquarters.
RSVP is particularly helpful for this outing, but it is not required. Please
contact Catherine if you can offer or need a ride -- carpooling is encouraged.
