Thinking about a short backpack in the Humboldt Redwoods State Park, so here's some trail that I wouldn't mind walking again for #footpathFriday.
The first three are from the River Trail: https://valhikes.blogspot.com/2021/10/river-trail.html
The last is from Johnson Camp Trail, my way down from Grasshopper Fire Lookout: https://valhikes.blogspot.com/2018/11/grasshopper-mountain-and-johnson-camp.html

And I did get to hike one of those trails again! (Turns out the other one was closed anyway. Not that anyone bothered to mention that as I, say, registered for the camp near it.)
The perfect way to celebrate Earth Day is to launch into a 40 mile, 3 day backpack after not doing any bigger hikes for months, right? Muscles claimed tiredness, but not much sore.
Early season hiking in Humboldt Redwoods State Park contains the danger of arriving at a fallen log across the trail so large you can't even see over it. Twice. There's a real bumper crop of poison oak coming in.
