60 Hikes in 60 Miles in 60 Weeks:
Week Six
Purisima Creek Redwood Open Space Preserve
 |
| Bigleaf maple leaves litter the trails at Purisima Creek Redwoods this month. |
What it's like:
This one's a seven mile loop through redwood-stuffed canyons south of Half Moon Bay.
Why now:
Look for colorful orange leaves on bigleaf maples while trekking on mostly-shaded and well-graded paths.
Can't make it this week:
As long as trails aren't too muddy, this is an incredible winter hike. Spring is lovely too, with a variety of wildflowers in the woods and chaparral.
Insider tip:
Beware of the Halloween pumpkin-seeking hoards, who descend into Half Moon Bay this time of year. If you're planning a visit to Purisima Creek on a weekend, consider starting this hike from the Skyline Boulevard trailhead.
Purisima Creek Redwoods is hike 48 in 60 Hikes in 60 Miles: San Francisco (third edition). Read about this hike on BAHiker.
Alternate choice:
Joaquin Miller Park is a little-known redwood enclave, in Oakland!

There is one thing that is sure; both the experience and the destination of your hikes will vary. There are many different places in our great country to hike, from dense forests and mountains to beautiful beaches; each place has its own charm and history. I prefer to check this water blasting services and get more new skills for roof washing. The only constant with all of these places is that they are all equally beautiful. That's why I want to share with you an idea on how you could make this fall a wonderful memory for you and your family!
