Trail Riding with Bella in Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park - Santa Cruz, California

Big Hole Rock Trail - Buckeye Trail

One of my favorite loops is to go down the Big Hole Rock Trail, cross the river a few times and go up the Buckeye Trail. Both those trails are very steep, so this was a good conditioning exercise for Bella. We took our time and stopped often to take photos.
