three tributaries through the redwood forest.
All trails in natural areas must be traversed with
caution and may require stream crossings (such
as Falls Trail) and terrain difficulties! The Hare
Creek Trail follows its namesake Hare Canyon

redwood trees in Monterey County. The Kilns
Trail follows the West Fork of Limekiln Creek
to the four historic limekilns. Please remain on
the trails, as the canyon walls are steep and
unstable, and poison oak is abundant.
