Step through time on the Ecological Staircase, a 2.5-mile hike where ancient marine terraces rise from the coast into redwood and rare pygmy forests, each level telling a story millions of years in the making.

We will be meeting on the West side of the highway at Jug Handle State Natural Reserve.

Parking here: 15700 CA-1, Caspar, CA 95420
