Nice. I never hear of the place. Did you access it from Hwy 1 or 101? What
trail did you take? We might be taking a costal route down this April.

Subject: [LRflex] IMG: Purisima Creek - First Visit
Yesterday I went to Purisima Creek Open Space Preserve here in San Mateo
County. I'd never been before and was absolutely blown away. It was an overcast
day so no sun peeking through with hot spots. It is literally a redwood forest:
not a grove, but a huge forest.
The creek was flowing from recent wet weather. It was very difficult to see
anything photographically as there was just SOOO much. I only made it 1 mile
into a 4 mile (one way) hike. It took me about 4 hours to get that far as I was
constantly shooting, climbing and walking 50 feet to repeat.
I'll have to go back; what a treasure!

Best,
