Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park簡介

Henry Cowell Redwoods State ParkexistSanta Cruz附近，從舊金山下去只要一個半小時不到，若是住在南灣就更近了。這個公園故名思義主要景觀就是紅木林，公園實際上有兩個區域，東南邊有有營地、遊客中心和最熱門的Redwood Grove Loop trail等多條步道，人也較多。西北邊的Fall Creek Unit也有20 miles左右的登山步道。我們因為是來露營，活動都在東南區域。另外在主要入口對面有Roaring Camp Railroads，有從Santa Cruz來的小火車，所以也可以坐小火車來玩。Roaring Camp的古鎮風光也是個氣氛歡樂適合全家到訪的景點。如果不想露營但又需要住宿，在Santa Cruz附近有很多住宿地點，可安排一趟週末行程。

Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park有107個營地，因為位置關係非常熱門。我們來過兩次都蠻舒服的。營地空間在加州State park不算大，但也很夠用了。從營地可以很方便的走到步道入口，對於想要來爬山的人非常方便輕鬆。整體來說也都整理得蠻乾淨的。因為多有樹蔭也不太熱。

hiking trail

在Henry Cowell最熱門的是入口處的Redwood Grove Loop Trail，另外如果像我們來露營，從營地出發有三條主要的步道，Eagle Creek Trail、Ridge Fire Rd、Pine Trail。如果是想單次輕鬆走的話，我覺得可以一次從公園入口停車直接去走Redwood Grove Loop Trail、或一次從營地爬Eagle Creek Trail去溪邊，或Pine Trail + Ridge Fire Rd去看Observation Deck。不過這些步道之間其實都是相通的，可以自由調整。

Eagle Creek Trail

Eagle Creek Trail是溪邊的步道，我們從營地入口開始走，一路上也有很多紅木。沿著小溪如果一路走下去可以接上River trail或Pipeline road。如果走Pipeline road的話就比較困難了，不過只走溪邊其實蠻平緩的。比起Redwood Grove Loop Trail，雖然這裡沒有有名的大樹，但是樹林很漂亮走起來人少也很舒服。

Pine Trail/Ridge Fire Rd to Observation Deck

Observation Deck是營地旁這一圈步道的重點，這個觀景台設在高處，走Fire Rd的話大概從步道入口是1 mile的距離，步道上沙很多很軟，靠近Observation Deck的一段比較曬。

Observation Deck就是一個水泥高台。上去之後很開闊，可以看到Monterey Bay和Santa Cruz群山。

Redwood grove loop trail

Redwood Grove Loop Trail是來Henry Cowell必走的0.8 mile短步道。從其他步道可以走過來，不過輕鬆點的作法是開車到遊客中心前的停車場從入口進來，可以順便看一下遊客中心裡面的介紹。

這條步道上的紅木是最大的，最有名的一棵樹是General Fremont Tree，這棵樹得名是因為John Fremont在1846年的時候曾在樹底的洞裡面因為躲雨住了一晚，可見樹洞之大。在成為州立公園之前，這裡的地原本被名叫Welch的商人買下，除了在附近伐木之外，也把這個grove當成旅遊景點經營。這個私有的旅遊景點當年還吸引了包括老羅斯福等很多政要名流，算是相當知名。

Town of Roaring Camp Railroads

Roaring Camp Railroads雖然不屬於公園的一部份，不過其實就在公園入口對面而已，所以就算不坐小火車也可以順便一遊。車站旁的Town of Roaring Camp維持著1880年代西部古鎮的樣子，有打鐵舖、印刷廠，徵兵辦公室前還掛著懸賞抓人的告示，逛逛也很有趣。如果想坐小火車，可以坐到Santa Cruz去玩喔。
