Flowers of Damnation III

In the spring, the pink and purple rhododendron blossoms as the smells of salt and wood waft together at the Damnation Creek Trail. The trail features a spectacular grove of 300-foot monsters in the Del Norte section of the Redwood National and State Parks system. This patchwork collection of parks protects what remains of these old-growth Northern California forests, only 5 percent of which remain unchanged. The history of Damnation Creek's name is imperfect, but the best evidence suggests that it's derived from settlers who found the going fairly rough there during the 1800s.

S in Secret

Secret Beach in Samuel H. Boardman State Scenic Corridor is appropriately named because it lies down steep and rough trails where it is secluded from Highway 101.
