My first California hike

Bay Area Hiker says of Purisima Creek Redwoods, which is on the western slopes of the Santa Cruz Mountains with views of the Pacific Ocean:
High points: Great views and hiking…
Low points: [T]here is considerable elevation to regain on the hike back to the trailhead.
I can confirm the hell out of that!
What a way to spend a Saturday. All told, my friend J and I hiked for almost five hours - most of that uphill. The good news is, it makes a five mile jog seem like a cakewalk. The bad news is…we hiked for almost five hours - most of that uphill. Still, good thing my current digs here come with a hot tub, because some pre-emptive soaking was most definitely in order when I got home.
Hey, at least we didn’t get attacked by mountain lions!
