Waterside path doesn’t scrimp on redwoods, but it’s short one bridge

Are you going to let a little thing like a ravine stop you?

Until state parks workers replace a bridge that was removed a couple of years ago on South Mill Creek Trail, that’s the pivotal question facing hikers of this route.

A bright red trailhead sign gives the state parks’ take on the matter: “Not a through trail,” “no crossing available.”

Prudent information, as it turned out. Laura and I did work our way across the currently unbridged tributary, but it was a bit of a scramble with the potential to get wet, so it’s not for everyone.
