Since I was reminiscing about how I love the Coastal Redwoods area, I wanted to include the Gold Bluffs Beach area of the Prairie Creek State Park. The park is on of Highway 101, just south of Crescent City and has it's Western most border on the Pacific ocean. It is one of the most incredible places to visit in it's diverse terrain, flora and fauna. The park is simply beautiful! We always used to camp in the Prairie Creek Campground area, but I guess now you can pitch a tent on the beach as well.

The Roosevelt Elk are
everywhere and when we rode out bicycles to the beach, we thought we would walk
along the shore. We would have to pass through a section of small sand dunes
that had grasses growing through it and what looked like some small twiggy
vegetation growing among the grasses. We never got to the water however because
as we walked closer to the sand dunes, we realized that the twigs were moving
and that they were not twigs, but a herd of elk bedded down in the
grasses! We prudently decided to explore other areas, like the Fern
Canyon, but that is another story
