During this memorial long weekend, we camped at Portola Redwoods State Park. The park has a rugged, natural basin forested with coast redwoods, Douglas fir and live oak. Eighteen miles of trails crisscross the canyon and its two streams, Peters Creek and Pescadero Creek.
The park invited us with a slight rain, so we reluctantly started our camping. We got the site 14 and 36. We only stayed at camp site 36, as 14 was not a completely developed camp site. Two tents were pitched and it was very cold day to start. My family was completely prepared for the cold, but we were not so sure how it would be when it rains. Luckily there was no rain there after during our camping stay. But one of our friend rolled the water melon to the adjacent camp site.
On day 2, we hiked to the famous tip toe falls within the state park. It was nearly 2 mile hike to reach the falls. It was a very small falls, but the hike was very entertaining. Kids had lots of fun with banana slugs and crossing the creeks. There was also lots of chicken and fish to barbecue in the pit. Night ended with campfire, chatting, and eating too.
On day 3, we had a nice breakfast, quickly packed our stuff and left the camp site with happy memories.
