California State Parks acquires 153-acre property for Big Basin expansion

The $2.4 million acquisition of the NoraBella property along Highway 236 is seen as a key step in the post-CZU fire recovery of Big Basin Redwoods State Park.

Yesterday, hiking on the #MiddleRidgeRoad trail in #BigBasinRedwoods State Park

My bestie and I had a great hike in Big Basin yesterday, although we did have to climb over a few trees that came down in the storm a week ago. We were happy to find some wild flowers have started to bloom.

I went hiking in Big Basin Redwoods State Park yesterday with my sweetie and a good friend of ours. We hiked out to Mt McAbee on Hihn Hammond Rd. This trail had been closed due to the August 2020 CZU Lightening Complex fire, and was re-opened just a week or so ago. It was great to go back up there. Although the area was badly burned, many of the redwoods survived, and the shrubs and bushes are happy with the now sunny hillsides.
