Fern Canyon

















After our visit to Burney Falls we spent the night in Redding then continued on to the Arcata/Eureka area where we were going to be spending a couple days with some of Jessica's friends.  While we were there we went on a group hike to Fern Canyon in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park.  If you've never been to Fern Canyon, it is a fascinating place and I would highly recommend it.  It's an easy, flat hike but does require that you get your feet wet as you have to walk in the water to make it up the canyon.  The water is really shallow, though, so it's not difficult.  The effort is worth it as the views from within the canyon make you feel like you're in a fantasy world.  Ferns are everywhere on the canyon walls (hence the name).  We spent almost a couple of hours in the canyon but the time flew by.  It sure is an interesting place to make some photographs!
