Berry Creek Falls
Now this is no hike for beginners. Most of the other hikes and trails on this blog are moderate so that a wide array of people can enjoy them, but the Berry Creek Falls loop is not for just anyone. It takes up an entire day and is about 11 miles round trip. It is beautiful and deep into the forest where great redwoods are abundant. The trail is steep and challenging in areas and the hike over all is very rigorous but the end result is completely worth it. Once you hike about 5 or 6 miles out you can reach the powerful berry creek water falls the run beautiful down the mountain side. It's important for this hike that you bring a map however because it is easy to get set of course and miss your destination. All the shade from the redwoods makes the trail pretty cool but layers are still recommended. The sunset trail lead you to the falls and is a very steep trail but there are areas to turn back and other trails to explore if you don't want to commit to the 11 mile loop. There are obstacles on this trail like small bridges to cross but the views are so beautiful its worth it all. Below is a photo of the farthest fall on the hike and I recommend this hike as a goal for any prospective hikers.
