Discover Fern Canyon, Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, CA

Pristine drops of water filtering through redwood forest. Drips of promise swept by moss fingers and fern hands.

For me, Fern Canyon in the Prairie Creek section of Redwoods State & National Park, in northern California, is a primal place. A place where you can hear the heartbeat of the planet. A place that is both ancient and every changing. Take a walk through Fern Canyon and listen.
