Pictures from Big Basin Headquarters to Waddell Beach


Lorraine, Sparky, Amy, Kathy, Jeanne-Ann and Jennifer pose before the last stretch to Waddell Beach. Only 12 miles to go!


Kathy, Jennifer and Sparky take a rest while the group catches up.


The group crosses a small creek.

 


The trail follows a river and offers some of the nicest hiking so far. Truly a walk in the park.



If you take the route marked for "Hikers", you add on another mile with elevation gain. We decided to take the road.


Waddell Beach was very crowded with many Kite Surfers out enjoying the ocean.

One more group pose before we head off! Kathy's daughter Allie poses with us center.


Berry Creek Falls


We are all thankful that the trail has finally turned flat. We are on the home stretch!


Crossing a final bridge on the way to the beach.



Finally, Waddell Beach is in our sights!

We Made It! And we are looking forward to doing it again next year!
