Hiking in The Forest of Nisene Marks State Park

We started on a hike near the ocean- in the Redwoods in 
The Forest of Nisene Marks State Park






Seriously!  Click on the picture and read the Mountain Lion sign...I was freaked out the entire time.
...
We had planned to do a 4 mile loop trail, and somehow took a wrong turn and stopped and turned after ~3.5 miles, hiking over 7 miles with the kids. They did really good and has been their longest hike thus far! 



 
crossing a couple of bridges, we hiked near the river towards a waterfall 





blurry...but a near rock scape behind us 
Well we survived and the kids had smiles on when we returned! 
Another gorgeous sunset and campfire fun with friends 
Rylan, Corben and Mason making s'oreos
(no graham cracker or chocolate, we roasted marshmallows and put them right in the middle of an oreo)  So yummy! 


  


The kids spent so much time on the beach!
What a great 4 day trip to the beach!
