An early morning walk through the redwoods can’t be beaten 😊 it’s lush, fresh and oh so scenic
An extended walk takes from a few minutes to a full day return. It is suitable for relatively inexperienced people with a low level of backcountry skill. All watercourses are bridged. #roadtrip
The sulphur smell doesn't last as long as you think it will

The stay was good but perhaps bit of improvement on customer service would be good, we ran out of coffee/tea but had to call the staff 3 times before it was being delivered and we wanted to have a swim but the swimming pool was not very clean. Thanks.
