Learn about some of the early settlers in the area as we hike 6 miles roundtrip through pristine redwood forest to the Page Mill site and back. As wildflowers disappear, mushrooms begin to emerge from the depths of the duff, and many of the forests creatures welcome the change of pace as fall approaches. Hike with a state park interpreter and a Portola and Castle Rock Foundation board member to explore the understory of this marvelous place. Bring hiking or running shoes, water, snacks, and a headlamp or flashlight. This moderate hike will likely take all afternoon, so please prepare accordingly. Event is free; day use vehicle fee is $10. Meet at the visitor center. Event made possible by California State Parks in partnership with Portola and Castle Rock Foundation.
