At the Big Basin parking lot a little after 9am. There were 2 rangers in the office but noone else around. (And I wouldn't see anyone on the trail all day)

Headed south across the creek and headed up the Skyline trail for a bit (parallel the creek) until it met with the Sunset Trail
Junction of the Dool trail and the Sunset trails, a bit off of the Skyline trail. Left here to head up the ridge.

Highpoint of the ridge near the park HQ. Mostly downhill from here to Berry Creek Falls. The road off to the right is Gazos Creek Road.
Warning: Falling Boobies. Didn't actually see any falling boobies today. Would have made the hike much more interesting.

Junction of the Sunset trail and the Skyline/Sunset trail connector.

Sunset Trail (top) and the Sunset/Skyline Connector (bottom).
One of the numerous bridges on the Sunset trail.
The area surrounding the Sunset Trail had undergone a controlled burn last year. This prompted some of the redwoods to sprout new saplings.
