Getting off the route has left us with a big day to get us to our next state park, Elk Prairie. There are two massive hills in the way, and we also have to ride back to the route at Crescent City, so all in all it’s about 46 miles. Here’s Crescent City, from about a quarter of the way up the first hill.
We pass the Trees of Mystery, a cable car ride through the giant redwoods. Not sure who the big bloke with the cow is.
Eventually, we climb up the final bloomin’ hill and branch onto the Newton B Drury Scenic Parkway, where we continue climbing. It gets colder as we climb up into the forest and the fog.
Then there’s a massive downhill which takes us to Elk Prairie. It’s a Roosevelt Elk reserve, and they’re supposed to wander about, but there aren’t any in evidence when we arrive. Hey ho.
