coordinates: 37.0952695691536, -121.78978459305016

We hike Upper, Basin, and Black Rock Falls via Contour and Waterfall Loop. The trailhead is nearby the parking lot.

To get to the park you'll need to drive through a cute Swedish village, Sveadal. The road is narrow at the village, just drive slower. It can be some delay as other hikers'd drive to the park.

This trail has poison oak, looks like this:

be careful.

Parking fee is $6, finding a spot can be competitive, please allow time for this.

ATTN: This trail is a combination of parts of a few trails, with some intersections, so if you think you may want to separate from the group/slow down at some point, make sure you get the parks's map and get known (from the leader) how to proceed on your own, otherwise a wrong turn can lead to a different part of this large park.
