Fall Creek Unit | Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park

Hiking area

👍👍 This is a beautiful and lush forest. Located north of the “main” Henry Cowell State Park. The Fall Creek Unit is just as amazing. The trail that follows the creek is amazing.

👍👍 Mt. Diablo Rock City has some of the most surreal- looking sandstone formations you’ll find in the Bay. It is fun place, adventure for young-age and family.
