Let's take a hike among California's giant Redwoods and take in some of the beauty that nature has to offer. Sometimes you just need to breathe deeply and move in the trees to inspire and recharge you. On this intermediate trail, we'll take the time to look out for wildlife: local birds, banana slugs, interesting fungi, and a variety of native plants. **About the hike: This is an intermediate 1.7 mile out and back hike with minor inclines and declines over rocky and muddy terrain. We'll start out at the visitors center at Big Basin State Park and follow Sempervirens Falls Trail, we'll stop a while to view the falls. We'll head back the way we came ending at the visitors center. What to bring: **$10 for parking, or CA state park pass. **Dress in layers-it can get chilly and misty among the trees. ** Rain gear- for that mist I mentioned **Water in a reusable water bottle- i.e Klean Kanteen (Say no to single-use plastics). ** Trail snacks- to keep your blood sugar and your mood up :) ** Proper footwear- something with good comfort and tread **For this hike, waterproof is ideal** (I'll be rocking my KEENs). **Release: Please review a copy of the Outdoor Afro release here: http://outdoorafro.com/waiver
