Exploring the magical redwood forest.
Fern Canyon is in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park in Humboldt County, California. The trail through the canyon is a short, easy walk with several stream crossings. During peak season, boards are conveniently placed across the stream. Ferns found here include California polypody, deer fern, licorice fern, and western sword fern. The fern most abundantly draping the walls of the canyon are western maidenhair ferns.

The trail through the canyon is short and flat with planks conveniently placed across the stream during peak season. The trail loops up stairs to follow the canyon from above, as shown in the photo. Accessing the nearest parking lot requires your vehicle to cross a stream. #nature

We had doctor appointments early at UCLA and decided to spend the night at W. The folks were very nice and helpful. The hotel is a bit tired. We had a room that was updated to a junior suite. The snacks and wet bar was good. The bathroom products can not be better. Davines from Italy. The bed was comfy too. The real problem is the air quality... The HVAC system is very tired. There are two zones. I used clorex wipes to clean the intake and outtake vents. I had to use several sheets. And they still need a lot of work. The windows have wooden shutters. They are very dusty too... Overall the W worked out for our trip. But I'm not sure we can stay there. With my wife's asthma and my allergies was quite a challenge... This was hard to write because the staff was so nice🙏🙏🙏 All the best Burton
