A less strenuous day today after a couple of long walks over the last few days (one walk of 10 miles! It's a while since we've walked that far.) We took a boat trip up the Klamath river, glad of our hats as it was HOT! We didn't see any hoped-for bears or osprey but enjoyed the pelicans and heron and our captain did a few high speed turns and emergency stops (on purpose!), so that was fun. The forest walks have been lovely. Quiet and peaceful. We did some huge tree hugging, spotted some frogs and "banana" slugs, you can guess the colour, and came across two bull elk with fabulous antlers, one in a glade just off the trail and one actually on the trail, luckily a little while after we were off it! The end of yesterday's trail took us to fern canyon where 6 different ferns grow on the walls. We had to scramble over trees to walk up it.
That tree is enormous!!!
