Redwood Gulch Falls

This one was surprisingly a nice little waterfall. I was not expecting to find very much of anything here. The trail from the road is really short, but it is not exactly easy. I had to literally take off my backpack and crawl under a big log across the trail on my belly, right beside a steep dropoff. Then after this, there is a very steep descent to get down to the creek level (short, but difficult). Once down at the creek, I just worked my way up to the falls. There was a second creek coming in here which had a pretty nice cascade on it as well, and with a bit more water it would be a nice photo opportunity as well. But I headed up the bottom of the falls on Redwood Gulch Creek. I quickly realized that I needed to get right in the middle of the creek to photograph it. I did not have my water shoes with me, so I went barefoot, but it was not too difficult and not too cold. My wife thought the water at Salmon Creek was freezing. I laughed at her (sorry, dear), because it definitely was NOT cold. I have been in freezing cold water before from snow melt, but the creeks here at the coast were downright balmy in comparison. Anyway, I enjoyed my time here at Redwood Gulch. The waterfall is not a big one, but it is a pretty one.
