The Creekmore clan spent a month in Arcata, Calif. (where most of David’s staff lives and works) during the summer of 2006. We’d work early in the morning to catch East Coast meetings and calls, then spend afternoons hiking and exploring the forests, beaches and rivers around Humboldt County.
Fern Canyon and Home Creek, Redwood National Park, Humboldt County, Calif.
Fern Canyon is one of those otherworldly places in which you expect to discover fairies living under a log or a velociraptor nest high up one of the fern-encrusted canyon walls. Which is why the area has been used as a location for both “Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World” and “Walking with Dinosaurs.”
The two-mile hike along the creek bordered by the canyon’s 50 to 80-foot vertical walls was a breeze for Emma and Lily at ages three and six. We went back two years later and the girls loved the approximately three-mile loop through the canyon, up the wall and around to the beach.
