pygmy forest, jagged coast, redwood fern jungle, lighthouse and sunset at glass beach

picture overload from our saturday along the mendocino coast – it was outrageously beautiful! P3169929
we hiked through this ^^ to the pygmy forest boardwalk:

they call this giant sinkhole “the devil’s punchbowl” – the coastline had so many caves and fjords!
