Big Basin, McAbee Overlook Loop
I headed down to Big Basin on Thursday morning to squeeze in a quick hike before the massive storm system hit.
Today's route passed the McAbee Overlook and Berry Creek falls and covered a number of trails that were new ground for me. I came prepared for a downpour, but managed to get most of the loop completed before it started raining steadily.
Always Picturesque Berry Creek Falls
I stumbled across one of the more odd things I've seen in the backcountry about a half mile upstream from Berry Creek Falls. A single shoe rested in the middle of the Skyline to Sea trail. Next to the shoe was a fallen "widowmaker" tree branch marked with yellow police tape. Strange.
Pictures, map, commentary, and the full set of pictures are here.
